Built Ford Tough Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21402899.jpg ORLANDO, Fla. -- Poor starts have often been the cause of Orlando's worst outings this season. For the second time this month the Golden State Warriors found out what happens when the Magic start a game with a little pep. J.J. Redick had 16 points and Nikola Vucevic added 12 points and 17 rebounds to help the Magic hold off the Warriors 99-85 on Friday night. The Magic snapped a four-game home losing streak and were active in all phases. But they got their biggest boost from the outside, connecting on 9 of 21 3-pointers. "We talked about it a little bit and we knew that for us to be able to win games we would have to put in ourselves in better position at the start of games," Vucevic said. "We came in with more focus, were more aggressive and it's a lot easier to play then." The Magic's offense had a flow to it that has only been seen in flashes this season. They had 26 assists on 41 field goals. "That's what we have to do. When you build a big lead, you kind of have to expect a run," guard Arron Afflalo said. "When we came in here at halftime, we understood they hadn't been shooting the ball well, so we kind of stuck with what we were doing." Stephen Curry led Golden State with 25 points and David Lee had 24. The Warriors shot just 37 percent and were outscored in the paint 42-34. Golden State also had its five-game win streak ended. That streak began after a Dec. 3 home loss to the Magic. http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121214_GS@ORL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
