AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- The Orlando Magic can shoot after all.

 

J.J. Redick scored 23 points, including a go-ahead 3-pointer with 42.8 seconds left, and the Magic rallied to beat the Detroit Pistons 110-106 on Friday night.

 

Arron Afflalo scored 19 and Jameer Nelson added 13 points and 10 assists for Orlando, which had each of its starters score in double figures. Glen Davis had 17 points and 13 rebounds, and Nikola Vucevic finished with 11 points and 13 boards.

 

"This is great for our team," Davis said. "Our young guys played really well, and Nik finished strong."

 

The Magic began the day averaging just 88 points a game, with only the Indiana Pacers below them. But they got 66 in the second half against the lowly Pistons.

 

"That's a great team win," Orlando coach Jacque Vaughn said. "The key was making stops in the second half, because that was why we were able to get so many good looks at the offensive end."

 

Orlando shot 55.8 percent from the floor in the second half, scoring 39 points in the fourth quarter alone.

 

"If you give up 39 points in a fourth quarter and 110 points in a game, you aren't going to win," Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. "Our offense did enough to win - you should win a game when you shoot 54 percent and score 106 points, but we didn't guard anyone."
