The Orlando Magic concluded their preseason with a 136-115 victory over the Miami Heat. It showcased their renewed offense as they continued building the habits and foundation that they showed in their first three preseason games.

The Magic feel like they are in a good place after a strong preseason run. The question will be whether they can translate that into the regular season and whether this offensive surge is real.

The team will have to also avoid the pitfalls that ensnared them last year. Three key players, including Franz Wagner, left Friday's game with injuries, casting a shadow on the season ahead. Their defense has its strong moments too, but was inconsistent throughout the preseason. The Magic cannot win without it.

As Orlando now turns to the regular season, this team has a lot of potential and a lot to prove.
