The young Wizards team still has to learn the hard way. Washington lost to the Orlando Magic for the sixth time in the first eight games of the season. And for the fifth time, the difference was 19 or more points. At 27 points, the difference to the Magic was even greater than ever before this season.

George's performance in the eighth game of the season was mixed (15 points). The shooting percentage was only around 50 percent - from the free throw line (1/2) as well as from the field (5/9) and from distance (4/8).

The Washington Wizards play a third away game in four days on Tuesday night.
