Magic Punched in Mouth by Timberwolves
ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic are recovering from their bruises after a 113-92 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night at the Kia Center.
The Magic started off flat from the start, surrendering an 11-0 run in the game's early minutes. From there, it was all Minnesota from beginning to end.

By halftime, the Magic's deficit ballooned to 30 points and it was all but over.
Ultimately, the Wolves packed the paint with All-Star defenders Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns and the Magic couldn't combat that with the 3-point shooting.
Orlando shot poorly from beyond the arc, far less than what the team had been posting over their last three games.
Jalen Suggs dropped 20 points for the Magic, while Moe Wagner added 21 off the bench. For the Wolves, Towns led all scorers with 28 and Gobert posted a double-double with 21 points and 12 rebounds.
The Magic hope to get back to their winning ways on Friday night when they travel down south to face the Miami Heat. Tipoff is set for 8:00 p.m. ET inside Kaseya Center.
