Kaman has got to grab that rebound.

Ok maybe Kaman didn't pick up his 3rd. Magic up 5 with 37.8 left in the half.

Arroyo with a nice dish to Evans for a dunk.

Thomas with the dunk to close out the half.

59-54 Magic at the half. Thomas with a productive 1st half so far. 10 points (4-4 shooting), 4 assists. We really had a strong 2nd quarter. We put up 34 points and pulled our shooting percentage up to 53%. I'm liking how we're playing but we'll have to keep it up and play at that level for 24 more minutes.

At the half the Clippers are down 59-54.

Great second quarter. That basically sums it up. After getting outscored by 15 in the 1st, we lit up for 34 in the second quarter (to the Magic's 24 points). The difference between the 1st and 2nd quarters? Shot selection, and defense. Loving Thornton's play right now, and Kaman should soon heat up and get a double double. The only thing I can complain about right now is that Sammy has been quiet, and I don't think we can win without a PG showing up to play (Knight's injury is limiting him, and Dickau is having an awful game).

Come on Clipps!

That's too bad man...

Sam needs to break the slump. He's 2-16 in the last 3 games.

Can the Clippers possibly shoot over 50% for the game?! :o

It would be the first time this year if it were to happen. We shoot a league worst 42% from the field.

The bad part is that Orlando is shooting 60% from the field.

Yeah it's disappointing. You could tell he was so hyped up. It'll give him a few days to practice with the healthy guys before he plays Saturday.

We have shot horrible this season and it would be great if we can stay over 50% or whatever percent it will take for us to pull out a victory.

Clippers shot 72% in the 2nd quarter. That's impressive.

Chris officially picks up his 3rd. :(

Great pick by Cassell, and Thornton with the easy lay in.

Kaman with 2 FT's to possibly put the Clippers on top. :o

Kaman has the opportunity to give us the lead as he heads to the line to shoot 2. Bricks the first. Bricks the 2nd. :nonono:

And Chris misses both. :(

Lewis with a 23 foot 3 point to put the Magic up 4.

Kaman picks up his 4th foul.

There we go, Sam. Nice turn around jumper.

And then the Magic come back with some nice ball movement and Rashard with another three.

64-60 Magic with 9:08 in the third.

Oh god, Kaman with his fourth, and Josh Powell/Tim Thomas are going to replace him and Q-Ross.

Cassell threads the needle to Powell who slams it in with authority!

Cassell to Powell for the jam.

And then a signature Howard lob.

68-62 Magic.
