Doc Rivers was so ready to go Saturday night that he practically threw players into his luggage.

"Let's go, Darrell [Armstrong]!" the Orlando Magic coach exclaimed to the veteran point guard. "Get your shoes on! We're out of here!"

When you allow 59 second-half points to the Minnesota Timberwolves and lose control of a game you could've won, you always want to exit the arena quickly.

When you've played your fifth game in your fifth city in seven nights, that makes getting to the airport even more important.

"It feels like we've been on the road forever, and I'm not even playing," Rivers said.

The Magic (5-6) are now done with one of their toughest stretches of the season.
