The Orlando Magic overcame their sloppy first quarter against the Utah Jazz Friday, but they didn’t overcome Utah’s second-half offensive onslaught in their 114-99 loss in Salt Lake City.
The Magic, who trailed 28-12 at the end of the first and by as many as 18 early in the second, cut their deficit to 5 at halftime and tied the game in the middle of the third.
But that Jazz shot 10 of 18 on 3-pointers in the second half to outscore the Magic 70-60 in the final two quarters to secure their fifth consecutive win.
