Guard of Magic, Evan Fournier, who only scored 8 points said, “We are not applying like a team that is trying to go into the playoffs. This time of the year, it is only going to get harder from here on out. Teams are trying their hardest to get into the playoffs so you also need to increase your intensity as well as your focus. We are not doing any of that.”
Up next, Orlando Magic will be starting their 5-game homestand with a first game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday while Wizards will host a game against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.
