The Orlando Magic are still learning the ins and outs of their new coach's offensive and defensive system. As expected, there have been a few hiccups and learning moments in the early season. But the one thing that has stood out is the team has been bought into the new system and is sticking with it and trying to execute it, even when they have struggled to make it work. That is what got them the win Sunday. Orlando is still trying to establish its foundation. In three games, the Magic's defense has been rounding into form and has improved in each game. That is a good sign for the team as they establish their base. There is still plenty to clean up on offense too. But the team's 3-point shooting has proven to be a real development. The team is getting more open shots too. It is just about making shots. The next few weeks will also be about survival. As injuries grow around the league, the Magic find themselves in a big test to hold the ship steady. That could define their season. 00:00 Early season struggles and positives08:24 Team communication and season challenges14:36 Early season NBA rankings analysis19:00 Magic's improving defense analysis27:55 Injuries and league's fast pace31:00 Crucial stretch for the Magic Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!QuoMoney is on the line.
