The red-and-black basketball team takes to the court again on Wednesday night (15.10). The second match, in a series of three friendly matches in the 2014/2015 NBA preseason, will take place in Florida, against the Orlando Magic, at 20 pm, Brasília time.
The match, which will be held at the Amway Center, the home team's arena, is another milestone in the history of the red-black team, which has been making history with a series of achievements and writing its name on the national and, now, international basketball scene.
the opponent
The Orlando team has never won an NBA title, but since it was founded in 1989, it has maintained its place among great teams, even reaching the finals in the 1994/1995 and 2008/2009 seasons.
Despite being a relatively new team, the Orlando Magic have made the playoffs for more than half of their NBA seasons, demonstrating their quality and the respect they've earned within the league. Despite this, the Florida team finished a modest sixth in the Eastern Conference last season.
