The Magic squandered another fourth-quarter lead and lost 102-95 to the 76ers, but it was of no fault of Vucevic (12 points and 10 rebounds), Ayon (eight points, six rebounds and five assists) and O’Quinn (four points and four rebounds). The combined 24 points and 20 rebounds were numbers quite similar to the one the all-star who previously locked down the position put up, so the Magic (0-2) emerged quite pleased with their big-man rotation.

Glen “Big Baby’’ Davis led the Magic with 16 points and Hedo Turkoglu added 13 points. Rookie power forward Andrew Nicholson, the Magic’s first-round pick last spring, scored 14 points by making seven of 15 shots. The Magic coaching staff has been trying to get Nicholson to play more physical and he was clearly working harder Thursday night to hold his positioning in the post.

 They still won’t fill the MAJOR void Howard left. Dwight was the key to their offense last year, as he drew a ton of attention in the paint which have their three point shooters a lot of open looks. With Howard gone, Orlando’s offense is going to struggle as most of their players are spot up shooters who rear create their own offense

So they scored 24. How many did they give up?
