Biyombo: 'We've got to get out there and get it done': Coach Frank Vogel said he intends to approach the Orlando Magic's preseason finale Thursday night against the New Orleans Pelicans like a regular-season opener. He'll try to employ as close to a normal rotation as possible. Judging by their listless 107-77 loss Tuesday to the Miami Heat, the Magic need all the dress rehearsals they can get. On Wednesday, Vogel and the players reviewed film from the defeat. It looked as ugly as everyone had remembered it. -- Orlando Sentinel

Magic look rocky as season nears: The Magic looked pretty good in July, didn't they? There was hope, even some excitement. Serge Ibaka was our new best friend. Then they had to go mess it up again by actually playing games. -- Orlando Sentinel

Finishing Preseason Well Important for Magic's Confidence: Icing a sore wrist in an eerily quiet locker room and sitting slump-shouldered at his dressing stall, Evan Fournier had the glazed-over facial expression of someone who was watching the same TV show for a hundredth time. Fournier’s body language was a product of the Orlando Magic getting crushed by a Miami Heat team that played with far more energy and precision on Tuesday night. Sadly, that’s a horrifying re-run that the standout guard has seen far too many times over the past two seasons. -- Magic.com
