Orlando Magic's offensive struggles: Frustration leads to defeat
The Orlando Magic's offensive woes showed up again, frustrating them against the New York Knicks in their first home loss of the season.
Everyone understood it would be difficult to continue winning without both Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner and this was one of those nights where their absence and the small margin for error came into play.
The Magic showed their youth for a change, letting the frustrating offensive evening cause enough of a slip defensively to let the Knicks take control and hold on for the win.

Orlando Magic's Response: A Test of Maturity

The team is still growing up.
