15-point reversal! Eastern Conference team collapsed: lost 76 points in the second half, the old Clippers made 2 of 6 debuts

On October 5, the NBA preseason continued, with the Heat playing against the Magic. As a strong Eastern Conference team, the Heat also got into the state early and once established a 15-point lead. Unfortunately, they failed to continue their momentum afterwards. The opponent was directly beaten up in the second half, and the score difference was approached and was overtaken in the final quarter. In the end, the Heat lost to the Magic 118-126 and failed to get a good start. Both teams have some changes this summer, with new players Bain and Powell appearing in the starting lineup. The Magic lacked Wagner Jr. The team was not in good shape from the top and was passive in the score. They were 8 points behind in the first quarter, and then the score difference was widened by the opponent. However, in the second half, the Magic's offensive state was hot, and the score difference was approaching. After playing in the third quarter, they were only 3 points behind. The Magic continued its hot momentum in the last quarter, and the Heat could not keep up with the pace. In the end, the Magic completed the reversal.

The Heat had the absolute advantage in the first half, which was also due to the main players on the court. However, when the two teams replaced the second team to showdown, the Heat fell into a completely passive position and collapsed directly in the second half, defeated by the opponent's attack. In the second half, the Heat lost a full 76 points, the Magic scored 40 points in the third quarter, and another 36 points in the fourth quarter. In contrast, the Heat only scored 57 points in the second half, and was reversed like this.

Heat's key signings this summer are Powell. He got it from the Clippers' trade, but his performance was not good in his debut. He played 13 minutes and 42 seconds, made 2 of 6 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, scored 5 points, and made 2 mistakes. Originally, the Heat were generally favored by the outside world. After all, he averaged 20+ points per game last season, which could bring firepower support to the Heat, but now it still takes a period of adaptation.

The new player Bain on the Magic is not in good shape, scoring 9 points with 3 of 7 shots, but still has 6 rebounds and 3 assists. The new season will share the pressure of Ban Keiro and Wagner Jr. This time, 17 players of the Magic got the chance to play, and all scored points, but Isaac and Kenones did not score in sports games, and their overall condition was still good.
