PRECISION: Orlando Magic Miss Opportunity, Paolo Banchero & Jalen Suggs Must RESPOND vs Adversity

The Orlando Magic had every advantage in their favor in their matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. Instead they stumbled, letting a weary Spurs team outwork them and dominate the game with their aggression and physicality.

Orlando still had its chances to win, erasing an early deficit and taking a halftime lead. But the Magic could not get out of their own way with turnovers, fouling and other frustrating mistakes, falling on the road and snapping their win streak.

A lot of things went wrong, but Jalen Suggs' continued struggles since returning from injury has put a cap on the Magic. Orlando is struggling to remain consistent with one of its key players still finding his rhythm and regaining his impact on a night-in, night-out basis.
