Magic Starting 5: Orlando 'Put League on Notice' This Season
1. THE MAGIC ARE DOING SOMETHING, SAYS MOE WAGNER
"In its 73rd game a year ago, the Magic defeated the Golden State Warriors to pick up its 20th win of the season. To put it in perspective, it took this year's team 23 less games to reach that mark.
"And really put the league on notice that the Orlando Magic are doing something and going in a direction means a lot to these guys," Wagner said.
