• Orlando Magic don't care about respect - They just want to win (spotonflorida.com) — Orlando basketball fans just watched the Magic push Detroit to a decisive Game 7, only to see the team blow a 3–1 series lead and exit the playoffs. The coverage highlights how players and coaches insist they care more about winning than outside respect, while videos capture local fans’ reactions and key moments from the series. It’s a gut-punch ending, but also a sign of the team’s growing relevance.
