Playing without their top four scorers, the Orlando Magic lost 105-92 to the Utah Jazz, one of the NBA's worst teams.
And on the second night of a back-to-back, Utah (9-25) was missing Lauri Markkanen (low-back spasms), John Collins (personal reasons), Jordan Clarkson (left foot plantar fasciitis) and Keyonte George (left heel soreness).
As both teams had lengthy injury reports, the Jazz's bench outplayed the Magic's bench on Sunday night. Kyle Filipowski had a solid game, and some note on Will Hardy's late-shot-clock philosophy.

The shorthanded Orlando Magic will attempt to prove yet again that they’re the most resilient team in the NBA when they square off with the Utah Jazz on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET.
Currently, the Jazz are 9-25, which would give them the fifth-best lottery odds. Truthfully, that might be their ceiling. The Washington Wizards, Charlotte Hornets and Toronto Raptors are all worse teams than Utah. The New Orleans Pelicans have a worse record than the Jazz, but they can become better if they return to full health.
