Magic Secure Playoff Berth

Facing elimination, the Orlando Magic delivered one of their most complete performances of the season to secure the Eastern Conference's No. 8 seed.

The blowout win sets up a first-round matchup against the Detroit Pistons, starting this Sunday.

Charlotte struggled throughout the contest, shooting just 25% in the opening quarter and committing six early turnovers.

Magic coach Jamahl Mosley praised his team's 'desperation' and focus, noting that they are not a typical bottom seed given their talent level.
