The Orlando Magic scored 19 points in the second half, breaking the record of 25 set by the Houston Rockets in 2018.

The Rockets set the record for fewest points in a playoff half during Game 6 of the 2018 Western Conference Finals, when they scored only 25 against the Golden State Warriors.

What seemed like an unbreakable record was shattered tonight by the Orlando Magic, who at one point led by as much as 24. They scored 19 in the second half. They missed 27 of their last 28 shots.

Their 8 points in the 4th quarter almost tied the record set by the Boston Celtics for fewest points in a playoff quarter. The Celtics scored 7 points in the first quarter vs. the Hawks on April 19, 2016.

For comparison, the worst half in NBA history was a 16 point performance by the New Orleans Hornets in 2006.

That was a fascinating 4th, even the rockets game wasn’t that bad.

Idk about that. It was basically the real game 7 of the Finals. So it hurt so bad

Imagine having 60 points at the half and ending the game with 79.

Pistons lucked out with the Franz injury but who am I kidding, they still would have found a way to lose the series. That’s what this loser franchise does.

I do not understand why they KEPT SHOOTING THREES. This isn’t a good shooting team on their best days.

I mean, they’ve been shooting hot in most of the games this series. Including to start this one.

Desmond Bane’s halftime interview: “if we just hold [Detroit] to another half like that, we’ll wrap this one up”

The Magic went 1-20 in the 2nd half and scored 19pts - losing by 14

Coulda made history by eliminating the #1 seed instead you make this kind of history

Statmuse is wrong, the previous record was 23 shared between the Jazz, Cavs and Celtics. The record for fewest points in a playoff quarter is also 5 not 7.

If you’re worse than the Game 6 2018 Rockets, you got a problem amigo

0-16 from the field and 8 points in the fourth quarter is a wild choke job.

It’s exhausting being a fan of this franchise. Trade or release every single player on the roster and fire that dumpster fire of a coach. Every single one. Paolo fucking sucks and will never lead us anywhere, and I’m saying this as someone who has been one of his most ardent defenders. Blow it all up. All of it.

Can feel the pain in your words. That was hard to watch and I just sort of want Orlando to win. If this was the Celtics I would have smashed my tv, phone, and literally anything else in my home.

I know how you feel, man. We were feeling the same at the half.

A 19-point quarter is usually pretty bad. a 19-point half is like a middle school girls’ game.
