Owner Real Deal Posted November 24, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 ORLANDO, Fla. -- In its first matchup with Detroit last week, Orlando survived a bruising effort by the Pistons' big men and made just enough shots down the stretch to grind out a tough road win. For Round 2, the Magic didn't have to sweat as much. This time, they got all the help they needed from the Pistons. Andrew Nicholson scored 15 points, Glen Davis had 11 points and 14 rebounds, and Orlando used a 21-0 run to open the third quarter to earn a 90-74 victory over Detroit on Wednesday night. "I didn't think we shot particularly well, but we played well together," said Magic guard J.J. Redick, who finished with 11 points. For a Magic team struggling to find itself amid key injuries, a youthful roster and a brand new system, it was a needed spark during a challenging first month. "I think it was just great concentration coming out of halftime and guys were focused and it showed," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. Orlando struggled to compete with Detroit's big men early, but used the third-quarter spurt to blow open the game. The surge included a more than 10-minute scoring drought by the Pistons. Greg Monroe scored 19 points and Rodney Stuckey added 13 for Detroit, which connected on just 28 of its 85 field goal attempts for the night. For the second half alone, the Pistons were a dismal 8 of 44, or 18 percent.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121121_DET@ORL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
