It’s a postseason preview! Right?
It seemed certain at this time on Tuesday. But then the Nets went and upset the Bucks, and the Magic were sluggish in their loss to the Pacers. Now Brooklyn has jumped back into the seventh spot, with a half-game lead over Orlando.
The Magic, of course, still have five games remaining, one of which is against the Nets. Plenty of time to make up that half-game, and we fully expect them to do so. (Side note: the Magic can clinch a playoff berth tonight with a win and a Wizards’ loss against Philly).
