Magic Headlines

Our Will Ogburn writes that the Magic-Timberwolves game had a little bit of everything: a career-night by Evan Fournier, a strong performance by the unlikely big man duo of Bismack Biyombo and Khem Birch, a haymaker thrown by Arron Afflalo, and of course, the Magic’s upset victory over the red-hot Wolves.

Arron Afflalo threw a punch at Nemanja Bjelica and was then put in a headlock.

Nemanja Bjelica said after the game that he was just trying to protect himself and that Afflalo was “wild.”

The feisty Magic fought hard against the Timberwolves, literally and figuratively, writes Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel.

Marcus Georges-Hunt, who played briefly for the Magic, has found a home with the Timberwolves, Robbins writes.

It’s time to break up the Magic, writes David Whitley of the Orlando Sentinel.

With their win on Tuesday, the Magic showed they can compete with the best teams in the league, writes John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com.

Last weekend’s football games brought a wide range of emotions for Frank Vogel (an Eagles fan) and Elfrid Payton (a Saints fan), Denton writes.

Evan Fournier had a career-high 32 points and earned an ‘A’ for his performance, but he didn’t receive the best grade on the Magic on Tuesday thanks to Bismack Biyombo and Khem Birch, writes Philip Rossman-Reich in his nightly grades column for Orlando Magic Daily.

The Wolves showed bad habits in their loss to the Magic, writes Josh Clement of Canis Hoopus.

Jimmy Butler was critical of the Wolves after their loss, writes Jerry Zgoda of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. And Bjelica survived a right hook.

The Magic have some intriguing trade options for the Utah Jazz, writes Jared Woodcox of The J Notes.
