The Orlando Magic dropped their fourth game in a row after being defeated by the Los Angeles Clippers 105-96.
Center Nikola Vucevic stood out and led the team in assists with four and in rebounds with 12. Forward Aaron Gordon also had an impressive night, leading the team with a career high 28 points.

The Magic are now 16-24 for the season and have started the new year on the wrong foot. So far, they have won only one of the five games they’ve played this year. Their only win of the year has been against the New York Knicks where guard Jodie Meeks led the team in points with 23 with Aaron Gordon behind him scoring 22 points.
What’s Next
The Magic will look to bounce back when they next face the Portland Trailblazers on the road. The game is scheduled to be on January 13th at 10PM eastern time.
