Magic Headlines

In our game recap, we write how the Magic lingered through three quarters despite being down to their third-string point guard, but in the end, their offensive woes continued in their 104-88 loss to the Celtics.

Without their point guards, the Magic offense has fallen back to earth, writes Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel.

In hopes of containing Kyrie Irving and disrupting the Celtics' pick-and-roll, Frank Vogel elected to start Jonathon SImmons at point guard, Robbins writes.

Mario Hezonja has improved, but still has a long way to go to reach his draft-day potential, Rossman-Reich writes.

In two games without Elfird Payton and D.J. Augustin, the Magic are averaging 88 points a game, shooting 38.4 percent from the field, and making just 25 percent of their threes, writes John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com.

On a scale of one to ten, the Magic's chances of sustaining their success is a four, writes Tim Bontemps of the Washington Post in a story about the league's five most surprising teams.

The Celtics' defense stifled the Magic, writes Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald.

Frank Vogel, using his experience in helping Paul George overcome his gruesome leg injury, offered Brad Stevens advice on how to deal with Gordon Hayward's injury, writes Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe.
