<p>A look at the stories that developed after the Magic's 102-81 loss to the Pelicans on Friday.</p> <p>A shorthanded <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/">Orlando Magic</a> squad ended their preseason Friday with a 101-82 loss to the visiting <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/new-orleans-hornets">New Orleans Pelicans</a>. The teams were tied, 45-all, at halftime, but the Pelicans used their superior talent and depth to their advantage in the second half to pull off the big victory. </p>
<p>Orlando went 2-6 in the preseason, and now has four days to prepare for the season opener against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.indycornrows.com/">Indiana Pacers</a>. Here's a look at some stories from Friday's exhibition finale.</p>

<h4>Power forward in flux</h4>
<p>Magic coach <span>Jacque Vaughn</span> said after Friday's loss that he's still not sure who will start at power forward when the regular season begins Tuesday. He says "balance and continuity" between the starters and the second unit are important factors which will play a role in his decision.</p>
<p>"We'll see what combinations are best for us going forward," Vaughn said. "At the end of the day, it will be dictated by both groups that will share time on the floor."</p>
<p>Vaughn has no shortage of options, with <span>Andrew Nicholson</span>, <span>Tobias Harris</span>, <span>Jason Maxiell</span>, <span>Kyle O`Quinn</span>, and <span>Solomon Jones</span> all in the mix. Tyler Lashbrook made <a href="http://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/2013/10/22/4864456/orlando-magic-2013-starting-lineup-andrew-nicholson-tobias-harris">a compelling argument</a> in favor of Nicholson, who started Friday's loss, getting the starting job.</p>
<h4>Night off</h4>
<p>Orlando didn't play <span>Jameer Nelson</span>, age 31, or Maxiell, 30, on Friday. Vaughn said that both players simply had the night off; neither of them is injured. "I think they've played in their fair share of preseason games," Vaughn said. "And they've practiced and played with the groups of guys that they'll play with in games. So it's just a matter of being judicious with their minutes, and trying to be smart and keeping them healthy."</p>

</div>
<h4>Skeleton crew</h4>
<p>The night off for Nelson and Maxiell, coupled with injuries to Tobias Harris, <span>Doron Lamb</span>, and <span>Glen Davis</span>, gave Orlando's non-core players an extended look. Only eight Magic players saw the floor after halftime. Of those eight, only <span>Ronnie Price</span> and <span>E`Twaun Moore</span> have guaranteed contracts for the season ahead. </p>
<p>"Overall the group's energy was pretty good," Vaughn said of his second unit, adding that it was a positive that each non-guaranteed player got so many minutes. </p>
<p>To wit: <span>Manny Harris</span> logged 18 minutes, <span>Mickell Gladness</span> played 13, while <span>Kris Joseph</span> and <span>Romero Osby</span> played 20 apiece. The team <a href="http://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/2013/10/25/5030198/orlando-magic-roster-2013-solomon-jones-waive-romero-osby">waived those four players</a> approximately an hour after the game ended.</p>
<h4>Odds and ends</h4>
<ul>
<li>Maxiell had a pair of Horace Grant-style protective goggles hanging in his locker. Maxiell, who underwent surgery in April to correct a detached retina, has been wearing the sleeker Bo Outlaw style of eyewear, but <a href="http://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/2013/10/3/4798282/2013-orlando-magic-traning-camp-jason-maxiell-goggles-horace-grant">said</a> in training camp that he favored the Grant and that he was working on obtaining a pair. The veteran power forward grew up in Chicago, where Grant started his career, and counts him among his favorite players of all time.</li>
<li>In the second quarter, Pelicans center <span>Greg Stiemsma</span> dove into the seats along the sidelines in pursuit of a loose ball. He collided with a pregnant woman sitting courtside and dislodged four seats in total, totally wrecking one of them beyond repair. The woman, a former Magic Dancer, was unharmed; she later moved to a non-courtside seat in the lower bowl.</li>
<li>As he exited the locker room after the game, Price told Magic rookie <span>Victor Oladipo</span> that "there's nothing like your first regular season game," noting that the preseason doesn't even compare. In response, Oladipo sang the first few bars of the chorus to the Pointer Sisters' 1982 hit "I'm So Excited." </li>

<p>The Magic played their camp invitees and reserves extended minutes on Friday, resulting in an only occasionally watchable game.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/">Orlando Magic</a> finished their preseason Friday night with a 101-82 loss to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/new-orleans-hornets">New Orleans Pelicans</a>. Magic coach <span>Jacque Vaughn</span> limited his starters to 18 minutes, all in the first half, allowing the players further down on his depth chart to get extended minutes after intermission. As a result, New Orleans ran away with the game despite the fact that the score was tied, 45-all, at half.</p>
<p>Making another start at point guard, <span>Victor Oladipo</span> finished with 10 points on 2-of-9 shooting to go with two assists and two turnovers. <span>Nikola Vučević</span> shot 5-of-7 for 10 points and seven rebounds. The seven-foot center drained a pair of long two-point jumpers, making a case for himself as a viable pick-and-pop option. He was less impressive with his back to the basket, committing two travelling violations while trying to back down in the post.</p>

<p>The Magic got a team-high 12 points from camp invitee <span>Manny Harris</span>, likely making his last appearance in pinstripes. <span>Kris Joseph</span> had six points, three boards, and four fouls, while <span>Solomon Jones</span> shot just 2-of-7 but did manage seven rebounds in 18 minutes.</p>
<p>Orlando built a quick lead, 10-7, with good ball movement and aggressive drives to the rim by Oladipo. The Pelicans countered with outside shooting and foul-drawing--two of the most efficient ways to score--and in short order New Orleans had built a 24-12 lead. Pelicans point guard <span>Jrue Holiday</span> applied greater ball pressure to Oladipo as he orchestrated Orlando's offense, taking him out of his rhythm and leading to some ugly sets. </p>
<p>Oladipo knows how to give pressure, and he forced Holiday to commit three turnovers of his own in the opening period. A key distinction was that New Orleans' offense could handle the occasional disruption, as it shot 62.5 percent from the floor, and 60 percent on three-pointers, in the opening period. Orlando's offense was less successful, with Oladipo going 1-of-7 overall and 0-of-4 from deep.</p>
<p>One problem with Orlando's offense is a lack of space, even with <span>Andrew Nicholson</span> occasionally extending his range to the three-point arc. For example, consider the first-quarter possession in which <span>Arron Afflalo</span> worked to establish position on the right block against Holiday while Vučević made the entry pass... from the right elbow, maybe five feet away. A shrunken floor makes life easier for a defense.</p>
<p>Vaughn used two discrete five-man units in the first half. The starting group worked much more effectively at both ends of the floor, particularly in the closing six minutes of the second quarter. A driving layup by Oladipo--one of his two baskets on the night--with 1.5 seconds left in the half evened the score at 45.</p>

<p>The Pelicans reasserted themselves in the second half, with Vaughn electing to use his second unit.Less than five minutes into the period, Pelicans super-sub <span>Tyreke Evans</span> put New Orleans back up by 10 points using an effortless Eurostep to set up a swooping layup for himself. A pair of free throws by <span>Al-Farouq Aminu</span> two minutes later gave the visitors a commanding 18-point edge as the Magic tried, with little success, to make viable an offense featuring the camp invitees Harris, Joseph, and <span>Mickell Gladness</span>.</p>
<p>Orlando made some crowd-pleasing plays in the fourth quarter, including an unexpectedly emphatic two-handed dunk by backup point guard <span>Ronnie Price</span> and a one-handed rejection by Solomon Jones, and generally looked more organized than it did in its 13-point third. But the Pelicans continued to maintain a double-digit lead due largely to the steadiness of <span>Brian Roberts</span>, the second-year reserve point guard. Roberts scored 21 points on the night to lead the visitors, using his deceptive footspeed to get into the paint for soft floaters.</p>
<p>It's instructive to note that, once again, Orlando played without <span>Jameer Nelson</span> and <span>Tobias Harris</span>, two of its best offensive players. And Friday's game was its last look at its camp invitees, so it behooved the Magic to play them extended minutes. The Pelicans, in contrast, played guys who will be on their roster, if not necessarily in coach <span>Monty Williams</span>' regular rotation, once the season comes. There's only so much a fan can take away from a preseason game with this sort of disparity in personnel. The Magic team that opens the season in Indianapolis on Tuesday will most assuredly play sharper at both ends of the floor. </p>
