It seemed like a sure win for the home team. After all, the Heat were on the second night of a back-to-back and didn’t look right all night long. Then the fourth quarter happened, and the Heat restored order.
The Magic almost, probably should’ve won that game. They were close. Just as is the case for this team in their rebuilding phase. They’re close.

Perhaps the Orlando Magic’s game against the Miami Heat Saturday was the epitome of where this team is in their rebuilding process right now. The Magic led the Heat at home for much of the game. They had complete control and had their way with Miami’s top defense. They even took a 7-point lead into the fourth quarter – at one point, led by 16 in the second half.
