So . . .

As long as we don’t play in January while scoring less than 80 points while also allowing over 100 points while keeping the scoring margin between 1 and 5 points while playing on Friday that happens to be an Odd day, we should be good statistically speaking?

By the way, thanks for taking the time doing the breakdown

I eat this sort of stuff up.

Nice detective work!

The sad thing about those Thursday and Friday games were that a lot of them were nationally televised. Doubt there’s any correlation though.

REC'd

Those scoring #s are a little scary considering the matchup with the Bobcats and that team’s D.

Thanks for the props, guys

Some conclusions I came to…

The Magic have not played many close games this season, and when they do, their record is not that good (6-7 when the final margin is 5 points or less); also, when they score fewer than 100 points (17-18) or allow more than 100 points (12-13), their record isn’t that good, either.

In the playoffs, the games figure to be closer and not as high-scoring, so hopefully the Magic can hold teams to under 100 points, because their track record this season when they do (47-10) is really good.

I had a lot of fun doing this post; to me, it was interesting to see what their record was in so many different situations.

You say they weren't in a lot of close games, but I wonder how many of those double-digit victories were close games in the 4th quarter...

I know there were quite a few games that we won that meet that criteria, and there were also quite a few games we won where we were down 10+ in the 2nd half, and vice versa, lost where we were up 10+ in the 2nd half. I have no idea how to figure those stats out, but I’m really curious to see how we did with big leads or deficits.

Sure, that's a valid point

As far as I know, the only way to find out would be to check the play-by-play of all 82 Magic games this season (available on the Magic’s official website).

I’m not quite that ambitious, though.

I started working on it, but it's going to take a week or so before I can compile everything if it takes as long as the first few games took.

I’ll post it here when it’s available. Here are a few stats I’ve been able to compile already:

Largest Margin of Victory: 32 – 32 – 21
Largest Margin of Defeat: 28 – 11 – 28
(All Games – Home – Away)

Average Margin in Wins (Overall / Home / Away)
13.81 / 15.26 / 11.84

Average Margin in Losses (Overall / Home / Away)
-8.83 / -6.29 / -9.94
