Episode Details

The Orlando Magic kept their Playoff surge alive, holding on for a 121-117 victory over the Miami Heat, extending their win streak to seven games and completing a five-game season series sweep over their archrivals.

The Magic's win streak has showcased what makes this team special, and a return to the team's key identity of resilience and defense have helped propel the team up the standings.

Still, the Magic have had a penchant for blowing leads and needing to hang on for wins. There is still a lot for this team to grow on. And their worst habits are still on display if they are not careful.

Orlando is overcoming them more and more now and embracing an identity that is leading to wins.
