Wolves will drop to 40-24. Eighteen games left, only 7 at home. They face the best of the East--Detroit twice, Boston once three more times and have two with Houston.
Rough road but good prep for postseason.
Still, after masterpiece vs Toronto, disappointing afternoon

Indeed, bench is cleared. Rocco bonus minutes

Rough game for McDaniels. Finch calls time at 4:36 down 20. Would be an early garbage time concession, but it is possible. Orlando shows no signs of letting up

Let's try this again.
Ant and Randle from the field: 14-29
Rest of roster: 15-47
From deep, Ant and Randle: 6-12
Rest of team: 3-24
And actually Ant is 5-8, rest of team 4-28

Not content to bedevil the Wolves, Mo Wagner just had what looked like a spirited diatribe at Mosley coming off the court.

First point for the McDaniels Ragu contingent

Ant in for do or die surge at 9:48 down 18

Overconfident tweet. Wolves could have used SloMo this afternoon

Coach Mosley always is able to coach up guys like Carter Jr amnd da Silvia, the latter who has stepped in for Black, injured after two minutes, and thrived

Make that 14-28. Rest of roster 12-41.
Bat math for a minute

Randle and Ant 14-26 from the field.
Rest of roster: 12-42

McDaniels and Ragu remain scoreless. Wolves follow up 20 point second quarter with 15 thus far at 4:34 left in the third

Ayo and Naz in with 6:43 to play in the third and the team down 15

On-ball defense hasn't been there. High caliber defenders such as Ayo and Ragu among the culprits.

Ragu beaten twice off dribble by Suggs in first 3 minutes of second half

Four Magic players with 3 assists and two other with 2. Jamahl Mosley has been one of my favorite coaches for a few years now.

Wendell Carter Jr has settled in nicely in Orlando. He's 6-5-3 in the 17:14 first half minutes today and the Magic are +12 in that time.

Ragu and McDaniels a combined 0-10 from the field with zero points (no FTs).
Magic outscores Wolves 33-20 in second quarter

Wolves shoot 38%, 28% from deep for a 50-60 halftime deficit

Double digit Magic lead

Don't agree with that flagrant call on Ragu. Marc Davis even acknowledged there was no windup. Bane sold it by staying down holding his head. Miraculously now seems fine

Wolves letting go of the rope on defense. Banchero has a chance to put Magic up with 2 FTs

Randle stands up Banchero, gets the steal and feeds Rudy for a contested layup.
Don't expect all those things to be duplicated again anytime soon

Ragu resurrects a bad habit from last season, driving beneath the basket with nobody to pass it to

Bones definitely on the bubble in a post SloMo world and he is playing well here with 7 points and 3 dimes in 7 minutes

Bane proving to be a tough matchup for Ayo.

Two times now Ayo beaten off the dribble. Needs to dig in more, even with Rudy in the game

That was a Magic timeout due to an injury to Black I think

Mo Wagner is my favorite irritant in the NBA.
