Unable to shake the Orlando Magic from the throes of a 10-game losing streak and spur the development and improvement expected this season, Jacque Vaughn was fired from his job as head coach on Thursday.
James Borrego will take over the head coaching job on an interim basis. The Magic (15-37) have 30 games remaining and play next on Friday at the Amway Center against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Challenged with overseeing the Magic’s rebuilding process alongside of General Manager Rob Hennigan, Vaughn was 58-158 in 2½ seasons in Orlando.
