The L.A. Clippers brought one of the least talented teams I've ever seen to Orlando, and a lackluster effort by the Magic still resulted in a 22 point blowout victory. Although the box score looks good, the Magic will have to play better to beat some of the league's elite.

What didn't work:

1. Lack of energy by the home team- Orlando seemed to really sleepwalk through the game against an undermanned opponent. Although the Clippers never showed anything that resembled they could threaten to take over the game, the Magic weren't completely sharp on either end.

2. No pressure defense- Although the Clippers shot very poorly from the field, the Magic forced just three turnovers.
