The Orlando Magic recently hosted a one-sided battle against the Brooklyn Nets this past Wednesday, November 10, 2021. The match took place at the Amway Center inside the heart of downtown Orlando, Florida, where the Magic were handed an unsettling 123-90 loss at the end of regulation. This loss officially decreases Orlando to obtaining an embarrassing 3-9 2021-2022 NBA season record, as it seems that their athletes need to focus more on the defensive side of the game, instead of their usual highly used offensive tactics.
As he normally does, Nets star forward Kevin Durant put on an incredible performance for Brooklyn by contributing his much-needed 30 points, 2 assists, and 5 rebounds, over the course of a hard fought 29 minutes of action. Not only him, but former Houston Rocket James Harden earned himself a triple-double for the night with his well-deserved 17-point, 11-assist, and 11-rebound game in order to ensure this highly craved for victory. Star center LaMarcus Aldridge also made himself known as a force to be wrecked with on Wednesday night as he shot a total of 9-16 from the field while marking a solid 21 points and 8 rebounds for his city. With this victory, the Brooklyn Nets have now propelled themselves to earning an even more confident 8-4 season record as they continue to work towards their goal of an NBA Finals win.
Orlando struggled on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor throughout the entirety of this game. The majority of the athletes seemed to be on completely different pages as they attempted to stop and penetrate the heavy force that is the Brooklyn Nets lineup. With this loss, the Orlando Magic now looks to prepare for their next match-up against the Washington Wizards this upcoming Sunday, November 13, 2021. The Wizards currently withhold a stable 8-3 season record, undoubtedly shaking the nerves of their impending opponents.
