HE PLEADED NOT GUILTY AND SAYS HE’S STEPPING AWAY FROM GOLF FOR TREATMENT. ALL RIGHT. WHEN OR STAY HOME. THOSE ARE THE OPTIONS LEFT FOR THE ORLANDO MAGIC. OH YEAH, THEY MISSED A BIG CHANCE TO GET INTO THE PLAYOFFS LAST NIGHT BY LOSING TO THE SIXERS. AND NOW THEY MUST BEAT THE HORNETS AT HOME TO KEEP THEIR SEASON ALIVE. WESH TWO SPORTS DIRECTOR DAREN STOLZFUS IS LIVE IN STUDIO TONIGHT WITH WHAT’S AT STAKE. DAREN. HEY MAGIC HEAD COACH JAMAHL MOSLEY PUT IT THIS WAY LAST NIGHT IN PHILADELPHIA. THIS IS IT. ALL SEASON HE’S PREACHED TO HIS TEAM. TAKE IT ONE GAME AT A TIME. AND NOW THEIR SEASON COMES DOWN TO ONE GAME, 48 MINUTES ON THEIR HOME FLOOR. THE WINNER CLINCHING THE EIGHTH SEED IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFFS. THE LOSERS OFF TO CANCUN OR WHEREVER THEY WANT TO START THE OFF SEASON. LAST NIGHT JUST NOT THE PERFORMANCE THIS TEAM WANTED TO SEE, BUT ONE THAT WASN’T ENTIRELY UNEXPECTED BUT EFFORT AND INTENT. THAT WASN’T THE ISSUE. SHOT MAKING WAS DESMOND BANE HAD 34 POINTS, KNOCKED DOWN FOUR THREES. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THE MAGIC DID NOT HAVE A CONSISTENT SHOT MAKER. AND REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY ENDED UP HERE WITH THEIR SEASON ON THE LINE, THEY SAY THEY’RE EMBRACING THE CHANCE THEY DO HAVE AT HOME TOMORROW NIGHT. WE ALL WANT TO WIN. WINNING IS IS IS AT THE UTMOST PRIORITY FOR EVERYBODY. I MEAN, IT’S FRUSTRATING, BUT IT’S ALSO A GREAT OPPORTUNITY AHEAD OF US ON FRIDAY. YOU KNOW YOU GOT TO COME IN WITH A CLEAR MIND AND GO DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO TO WIN THE GAME. YOU KNOW, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE’VE BEEN THROUGH SLUMPS BEFORE. AND SO, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND IN A WAY WHERE, YOU KNOW, RESULTS IN A WIN. NOW THE MAGIC HAVEN’T WON A GAME WHEN FACING ELIMINATION IN 17 YEARS. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS TEAM HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD AT HOME IN THE POSTSEASON. JUST ONE LOSS IN
