RELIABLE OR NOT?: Orlando Magic’s Search for IDENTITY continues in London

The Orlando Magic again fell flat with a poor defensive effort as they continue their run of inconsistent play.

The Memphis Grizzlies blitzed them early with another hot-shooting start that did not dissipate. The Magic never fully reeled the Grizzlies back in and their stars failed to deliver consistent scoring to stabilize the team as they fell further and further behind.

The team is still struggling to find the one thing they can count on. Not even their ability to get to the line or the rim has been consistent lately and that only further puts the team in a deeper hole.

The Magic return home from Europe with a split but still with loads of questions as they begin the second half of their season.
