Maggette with a steal and takes it the other way with an and one! Great play.

What is going on with the Magic? Talk about being streaky...

Maggette with the rip on Reddick and drives to the basket to score and is fouled. Maximus come to play tonight?

Kaman gets all ball on a Dooling dunk attempt and gets called for the foul. What a terrible call, giving Kaman his second foul.

Great block, bad officiating. That was worse than bad, but it happens.

Yep, especially when we're going up against someone like Howard.

We've outscored them 13-4 in the 2nd with Howard on the bench. 39-33 Magic with 8:33 to go.

Clippers shot selection is much better. MUCH better.

Shaun Livingston is on the air. Glad to hear he's eager to return.

Hopefully he'll fix his jumper, his vision, and careless mistakes by then.

Hard fall Powell trying to grab the loose ball.

Damnit Powell. That looked liked it was going to go in.

He redeems himself with that one. Powell with a nice running hook over Howard.

I love Powell's athleticism and game. He may not be the most polished player in the game, but he hustles like no other on the team.

Powell with the jump hook. I don't see why this guy wouldn't fit in with a fast paced team (Phoenix and GS, although he did play with GS before coming to LAC, and Warrior fans seemed to like him).

5-point game. Now if the Clippers could only stop Dooling...

I love his hustle too. I couldn't stand the signing in the beginning but as of late he has really started showing positives. Getting decent playing time he's been able to give the fans something to sink their teeth into.

Clippers within 2. :clap:

It also makes you think of why Powell was the guy to blame for Patterson getting cut. He shouldn't have been the scapegoat.

Kaman with seven points, after a layup.

50-48 Magic.

God damn, imagine if Thornton started since the beginning of the year and was getting this time. He'd be getting the recognition he deserves.

Kaman picks up his 3rd with a costly offensive foul.

Not closing out quarters is coming back to haunt us again.

57-50 with a minute left in the half.

Wasn't enough to really have a clear picture who Powell is and what he could bring the the team. Now we're getting that. I certainly am glad of what he's showing and proving me wrong.
