Latest news and updates about the Magic
The Lakers had one of the more odd streaks come to an end this season. Despite being a very average team for the season, the Lakers were undefeated when leading into the fourth. They also still sported a sterling 16-3 record in clutch games. Both stats were outliers that took a hit on Tuesday. LA […]
For the first time this season, the Lakers lost when leading after three quarters, falling to the Magic at home on Tuesday, 110-109.

Just when the Lakers reached full health, another injury occurred to one of their rotation players. Jaxson Hayes had to exit early during LA’s loss against Boston and was deemed doubtful to play in the team’s upcoming game against Orlando. On Tuesday afternoon, the Lakers downgraded him to out for the contest. After Monday’s practice, […]

Franz Wagner out indefinitely for Magic Things just got tougher for an already-stumbling […]
We have officially arrived at the 2025-26 All-Star break for the Miami Heat. After a fun, electric 14-7 start, the Heat have, once again, crashed down to mediocrity. They enter the break 29-27, a 0.5 game back of the Orlando Magic for the No. 7 seed and 2.5 back of the Philadelphia 76ers. Miami secured […] The post POLL: How would you grade Heat’s season entering All-Star break appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The Milwaukee Bucks got their revenge on the Orlando Magic last night in a performance that offers a lot of reasons for optimism moving forward. For at least one night, Jon Horst’s deadline deals made him look like a genius, with Cam Thomas leading the charge and Ousmane Dieng having a career night, among a […]
I’m all for being checked out of work the last day before a vacation, but good lord. The shorthanded Sixers limped into the All-Star break, being blown out 138-89 by the New York Knicks Wednesday night. They go into the break 30-24, just a game up in the loss column on the Orlando Magic for […]
The Milwaukee Bucks got sweet, sweet revenge on the Orlando Magic, 116-108. In one of the most entertaining games all season, new acquisition Cam Thomas exploded for 34 points and Kevin Porter Jr. notched an 18-point, 10-rebound, 11-assist triple-double. Desmond Bane went off from deep with 31 points I guess, but it wasn’t enough. NBA.com […]
The Milwaukee Bucks and Orlando Magic lock horns again tonight in the second game of this basketball series. It will be interesting to see how both teams adjust after playing each other two nights ago. How do the Bucks limit Anthony Black? What adjustments might the Magic make for Kevin Porter Jr.? Also, should Orlando […]
The Milwaukee Bucks put up a good fight but ultimately fell to the Orlando Magic 118-99. The game was ugly in the first half, with neither team making much from outside, but the Magic’s final 18 minutes were stellar. The Bucks have a chance to redeem themselves tomorrow night (or not, for the pro-tank crowd) […]
The Orlando Magic ended the Milwaukee Bucks’ win streak in a blowout, winning 118-99. Kevin Porter Jr. led the Bucks with 28 points, seven assists, and four rebounds, while the Magic were led by Anthony Black, who had 26 points and five boards. NBA.com Box Score Game Recap Let’s just say the first quarter was, […]
The Milwaukee Bucks have just secured their first three-game win streak of the season, and have a shot to make it four tonight against the Orlando Magic. Now, although the Bucks are playing better, each of those three wins was against a poor team; the Magic, even without Franz Wagner, present a greater challenge. This […]
The Jazz successful fall 120-117 to the Orlando Magic in a tight finish. Utah had stretches where they looked amazing and led by double digits, but Orlando chipped away and made enough plays to seal the win. The Jazz hit some big shots and the young guys fought hard, but key possessions and defensive lapses […]
When was the last time you were pumped for a Jazz game? No, seriously. The Jazz haven’t had a defensive talent of Trip’s caliber since the late Rudy Gobert — not dead, just bald. As soon as you saw his name in the starters, it was a sigh of relief after years of the most […]

Now we move. The NBA trading deadline came and went, and the Nets roster is looking a bit different. We’ll get to that in a bit. The Nets lost again to the Orlando Magic and are riding a three game losing streak. The opponent tonight is coming off one of the biggest upsets of the […]
The Brooklyn Nets had their first game on the other side tonight. The other side of the trade deadline. The other side of weeks spent wondering whether Michael Porter Jr. would still be here. The other side of the Cam Thomas “era,” if you can even call it that. But while the moves made today […]
Put one more on the board. The Brooklyn Nets came home to host the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. Once again, Brooklyn fell behind by a bunch. Luckily for them, it wasn’t a 30+ point defeat this time. They “only” lost by 16 points this time. Good for them. The opponent tonight is trying […]
Coming off a win against the Orlando Magic, the Spurs faced off against the Oklahoma City Thunder for the fifth time this season. Before the game, it was announced that OKC’s starting five, plus some key rotation players, would be out due to their respective injuries. Stephon Castle returned after missing Sunday’s win versus Orlando, […]
Former Duke point guard Tyus Jones has been traded from the Orlando Magic to the Charlotte Hornets, where he’ll join fellow former Blue Devil Kon Knueppel. He’ll most likely back up LaMelo Ball. Given Ball’s injury history, having a solid backup is a really good idea. Charlotte got some redundancy there, also trading for former […]
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Charlotte Hornets are acquiring Tyus Jones from the Orlando Magic for nothing but cash considerations. But wait, there’s more. Not only did the Magic give away Tyus Jones, they also gave the Hornets two second round picks for helping them duck the luxury tax. The Hornets will be getting […] The post Hornets acquiring Tyus Jones and picks for basically nothing first appeared on At The Hive .
There isn’t anything interesting or exciting about the San Antonio Spurs vs. the Orlando Magic.
