The Orlando Magic made head coach Jamahl Mosley the fall guy for their latest postseason failure.

Orlando confirmed Monday it fired Mosley after it blew a 3-1 lead in its best-of-seven series against the Detroit Pistons in the first round of the playoffs.

Magic release statement after firing Jamahl Mosley

Mosley, 47, wasn’t stellar, going 189-221 in the regular season and 7-12 in the playoffs in five seasons in Orlando. The team went 45-37 in the regular season in his final year.

The coach, however, helped the Magic become a relevant player in the Eastern Conference. He guided Orlando to three straight playoff appearances over the past three seasons. Before his arrival, the club had not reached the postseason since the 2019-20 season. It hasn’t reached the second round of the playoffs since the 2009-10 season.
