The Magic only have five players remaining on their roster from their team that reached the 2009 NBA Finals, which creates concerns regarding the team's chemistry.

"With the guys in this locker room you have no choice but to jell," Dwight Howard said. "We have a tight-knit group, and the way we interact with each other is something that not a lot of teams do. So when guys come here, they see just how we are and they have no choice but to love it."

Even though he has become more serious this season, Howard still believes Orlando plays their best basketball when they are loose and relaxed.

"That's the good thing about this team," Turkoglu said following their win on Wednesday, which contained a moment of laughter after he blocked a shot and wagged an index finger. "Always on and off the court we have a good relation with each other. That's not going to be any concern or any problem for us. We've got good people around and good chemistry. You can see that during the game."
