ORLANDO, Fla. -- It didn't take long for the Orlando Magic to start justifying why they made those risky, midseason trades that turned a pretty good team upside down.
It happened quicker than they even thought.
Just a week before, the Magic were fading rapidly out of contention in the Eastern Conference, stuck in a high-priced rut as the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics pulled away, leaving them to wrestle with teams like Atlanta, Chicago and New York in the middle of the pack.
Today, the hope is back.
By beating the Boston Celtics 86-78 on Christmas Day and snapping Boston's 14-game winning streak, the Magic proved they can become contenders again -- with a revamped roster -- and expect to rekindle their championship goals.
It came just two days after they had clubbed the San Antonio Spurs -- who had a 10-game winning streak -- now having beaten the best teams in the West and East, respectively.
