Rough Shooting Night

The Orlando Magic's struggles from beyond the arc continued on Wednesday night as they fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder 112-98. The Magic shot just 22.2% from three-point range, making only 6 of 27 attempts.

The Magic's poor shooting performance was a major factor in their loss. They were outscored by 18 points from three-point range, and they also had trouble keeping up with the Thunder's pace. The Thunder shot 50% from the field and assisted on 30 of their 44 made field goals.

Missed Opportunities

The Magic had several opportunities to get back into the game, but they couldn't capitalize on their chances. They missed 10 free throws and turned the ball over 15 times. The Thunder, on the other hand, made all 18 of their free throw attempts and only turned the ball over 8 times.

The Magic's loss dropped their record to 18-33 on the season. They are now 10th in the Eastern Conference standings, and they are just 2.5 games ahead of the 11th-place Charlotte Hornets.

Conclusion

The Magic's loss to the Thunder was a disappointing one, but it is important to remember that they are still a young team with a lot of potential. They have a lot of talented players, and they have shown flashes of brilliance this season. If they can improve their consistency, they could be a playoff contender in the future.
