“Can the Orlando Magic Break Their Curse? Three Crucial Challenges Standing Between Them and Victory Over the Celtics!”
Dwight Howard was announced as a Hall of Fame inductee this year. He led the Magic to the conference finals in the 2009-10 season.
Since then, the Magic have dropped five straight opening-round series. They came close to exorcising those demons last year, taking the Cleveland Cavaliers to seven games. Paolo Banchero had 38 points in Game 7, but Donovan Mitchell was a bit better with 39, and the Cavaliers advanced with a 106-94 win.
It’s not just recently that the Magic have struggled as underdogs in the playoffs. Most teams don’t have a good record as the lower seed, but Orlando’s is especially jarring. The Magic are 0-9 all time as the lower seed in opening round.
