Magic Loses Another Fight at Home
It could have been the moment to shine. At least that’s what the 19,057 fans expected to see when they showed up at the Amway Center, Tuesday night.

Although the Orlando Magic shot poorly early in the game, they were able to overcome that to defeat the Charlotte Bobcats 97-91 and advance to 8-3. One of the slow starters was Rashard Lewis who missed the first Magic jump shot after returning from a ten game suspension. Also returning for the Magic were Brandon Bass and Ryan Anderson who had both been receiving heavy minutes in a depleted Orlando lineup.
Magic Hold On To Beat Detroit
The Detroit Pistons handed the Orlando Magic their only loss of the season Tuesday, but Friday night the Magic held off a fourth quarter surge by the Pistons to win 110-103.
