ORLANDO, Fla. _ The look on Frank Vogel's face late during Saturday night's third quarter said it all.
His Orlando Magic missed yet another shot _ a five-footer by Marreese Speights _ and the Utah Jazz pulled down yet another easy defensive rebound.
Vogel paced along the sideline toward midcourt. He crossed his arms with his brow furrowed and his lips pursed. Seconds later, Utah's Rodney Hood sank yet another 3-pointer, stretching Utah's lead to 30 points.
It was a miracle Vogel held his composure.
The Jazz throttled the Magic, 125-85, at Amway Center, extending the Magic's losing streak to four games. The 40-point defeat tied for the most-lopsided home loss in franchise history and tied for the fourth-largest loss in franchise history overall.
It's one thing to lose successive road games to the Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors and Portland Trail Blazers, as the Magic did.
But it's worrisome to a lose a home game to the Jazz, who had lost all six of their previous road games, and even more disconcerting to get crushed by the Jazz. The Jazz led by as many as 46 points.
Even more frightening to the Magic: After a home game Monday night against the Indiana Pacers, they'll begin a difficult road trip to play the Minnesota Timberwolves, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers and Indiana Pacers. Home games will follow against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Warriors.
A once-promising season could derail very soon.
Utah was missing three key injured players: center Rudy Gobert, guard/forward Joe Johnson and point guard Dante Exum.
Hood scored a game-high 31 points. During a stretch bridging the third and fourth quarters, he scored 19 consecutive Utah points.
The Jazz (7-10) played Saturday on the second night of a back-to-back.
On Friday night, the Jazz lost to the Brooklyn Nets in Brooklyn, 118-107, in a game that started at 7:40 p.m. and ended at 9:45 p.m.
But that was just the start of the Jazz's travel difficulties. The Jazz took buses to Newark Liberty International Airport, landed at Orlando International Airport around 2:30 a.m. and arrived at their Orlando hotel around 3 a.m.
The Magic (8-8) have endured some difficult travel lately, too.
They completed a four-game West Coast road trip on Wednesday, spent that night in Portland and then flew on Thursday from the Pacific Northwest back to Central Florida. It was an effort by Magic officials to give their players the proper rest. Vogel even decided not to hold a morning shootaround Saturday so his players could catch up on their sleep and keep their legs fresh.
The Jazz dominated the Magic throughout Saturday's first half, anyway.
Utah made 57 percent of its shots and carried a 63-48 lead into halftime.
Orlando played lazy offense and lifeless defense.
The Magic seemed content to play one-on-one ball on offense instead of doing what had made them so effective earlier in the season: moving the ball side-to-side, driving and kicking and passing up OK shots for good shots or passing up good shots for great shots.
Just how bad was Orlando's ball movement? Put it this way: The Magic recorded assists on only six of their 18 baskets during the first half _ their lowest total for any half this season.
Point guard D.J. Augustin played in his first game Saturday since he injured his left hamstring Nov. 1 and missed the next seven games.
Augustin played 17 minutes, went 0 of 3 from the field, had one assist and two turnovers.
His return was the only welcome news the Magic had all night.
