The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.

What happened

Orlando visited Toronto twice and left with a split: a 99-129 drubbing that had fans calling Jeff Weltman an "absolute scourge on this franchise," then a 121-114 win powered by Cain, who "had one foot out the league." The week turned on Boston, a 97-108 home loss that dropped the Magic to 2-4 and revived doubts about life without Paolo: "We just don't have enough without him." Misery slid from 73 to 64, which in Orlando now counts as progress.
