In this story:

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic looks to get out of their current funk before taking on the Miami Heat tonight at the Kia Center.

The two teams met earlier this month down south, and the Heat squeaked out a victory won in the final moments of the game. But with the game back in central Florida, the Magic hopes to settle the score and keep pace in the Eastern Conference standings.
