Washington Wizards vs. Orlando Magic: Live Score and Highlights

Wednesday kicks off Day 2 of the NBA opening week, and after Tuesday night's festivities, we have a lot to look forward to!

The Magic ended the preseason on a strong note with a 6-2 record, while the Wizards ended with a record of 4-3. While not too much attention is typically placed on the preseason, it definitely gives us a glimpse of which direction each team is heading during the early stages of this year. 

The Wizards hit the ground running in the first few minutes of the game, leading the Magic 18-9 at the 5:23 mark. The Magic were able to catch up, closing out the first quarter with a 31-29 lead due to standout play by rookie Mario Hezonja (eight points) and Aaron Gordon (six rebounds).

The young Magic roster kept the Wizards on their toes throughout the night, with energetic and highlight-reel plays from both Hezonja and Aaron Gordon. However, it wasn't enough to overcome the the back court of the Wizards' John Wall and Bradley Beal. Even though the Magic had the last possession of the game, a missed shot by Vuvevic sealed the deal, with the Wizards taking home the 88-87 win.
