ORLANDO GETS REVENGE, CASTS SPELL ON WIZARDS

Orlando, FL (AP) - It wasn't their prettiest win of the season, but a win's a win. Orlando picks up another double-digit victory at the Amway Center, beating Washington 89-72. The win avenges Orlando's first loss, in the first game, of the season in which the team was blown out of the water. This time, it was Washington's turn to get blown out. Both teams really struggled shooting the ball, especially early on. The Magic could only manage 19 points, and the Wizards fared no better, scoring just 13. Orlando shot just 36% in the opening quarter, while Washington was much worse, connecting on just 6 of 26 shots (23%).


VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel taking it to the rim hard for some spectacular dunks

The Magic continued to build on their lead, going up by as much as 29 before Washington went on a run in the fourth quarter. The Wizards had it down to 7 points with less than 6:00 left in the game. But, 2 consecutive dunks by Orlando forward Brian Happel put the team back up double-digits, and the Magic never looked back. Afterwards, Happel was proud of his team's grit, "Such a great all-around game for the team tonight. It's so rewarding to see what this team can do when we're all on the same page. A win like this is a huge confidence boost, so let's hope we can carry that right into our next game." Happel finished with 25 points and 12 rebounds.


Happel may not be on "Dancing with the Stars" anytime soon, but his moves to the basket were "magical"

The starters continue to step up in the absence of Gilbert Arenas. Dwight Howard put up a monster game, grabbing 25 rebounds. He also scored 13 points. Stephen Jackson shot the ball well, scoring 22 points and adding 5 assists. He shot 9-18 from the field and 2-4 from behind the arc. And Andray Blatche had another solid game down low for the Magic, adding 14 points and 9 boards.


Happel was aggressive early on, driving to the basket for a strong finish

Washington had five players score in double-figures. The problem is, John Wall was the high scorer with just 14 points. He struggled from the field, to say the least, going just 7-23 from the field. Brandon Bass played well against his former team, scoring 12 points on 5-10 shooting in just 19 minutes of action. Bass was on Orlando last year when the Magic won the NBA Title.

HAPPEL, ELLIS NAMED PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

Orlando, FL (AP) - This is becoming a freakish regularity: Magic forward Brian Happel was named the Eastern Conference's Player of the Week for the week of November 18-24. It's the fourth straight time he's received the award so far this season.


VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel was getting lots of air time all week, including at home against Philadelphia

Happel led the Magic to three blowout wins against New Orleans, Indiana and Philly. Happel averaged 37.0 points per game, 15.6 rebounds per game and 5.3 assists per game for the week. He also shot a whopping 69% from the field.


Monta Ellis led the Warriors to 3 wins while being named Player of the Week

Meantime, Monta Ellis was named the Western Conference's Player of the Week. Ellis had 3 strong outings, including 42 points and 13 assists against Toronto. He averaged 30.0 points and 8.0 assists per game for the week. Ellis also played well defensively, getting nearly 3 steals a game.

MAGIC TAME BOBCATS, KEEP ON ROLLING

Charlotte, NC (AP) - This didn't necessarily have the feel of a completely dominating performance like usual, but it wasn't exactly close either, as Orlando took Charlotte to task on the road, winning 100-80. The Magic used a strong second half, particularly the fourth quarter, to make sure the Bobcats had no real chance of pulling out the victory. Orlando started off the last quarter with an 8-0 run to expand the lead to 19 and went on to make 11 of 18 shots in the final frame. Charlotte, by comparison could only make 8-20 shots. "We just kept building on our lead every quarter," said Magic forward Brian Happel, "It was all about consistency. We won each quarter, and that led to us winning the game."


VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel played a physical brand of style, taking it hard to the hoop all night

Happel certainly made it look easy on the court, as usual. "The Captain" scored 35 points, including 20 in the first half. He also grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out 5 assists for good measure. The highlight of the night came in the fourth quarter, when Happel dribbled out to the foul line extended, saw a lane to the basket, exploded towards the basket and dunked over to Bobcats defenders. Happel then hung onto the rim for a little bit of emphasis, "I wasn't trying to show anyone up. I just had so much momentum going, I thought I was going to fall flat on my back if I let go right away. It never hurts to be able to send a bit of a message, too. They were jabbering all night and taking some cheap shots at me."


The Magic didn't wait long to break out the pretty plays, here Jackson connected on a sweet alley-oop to Happel

This was the first game the Magic played without Arenas at the point position. Wayne Washington, Cory Coleman and John Salmons all handled the point well, though nobody had a particularly spectacular game. All 3 simply ran the offense. Andray Blatche and Dwight Howard really stepped up their games, however. Howard put together a double-double with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Blatche was also very solid down low, adding 21 points and 8 rebounds.


A fraction of a second late, just enough for Happel to throw it down hard past Tyrus Thomas of Charlotte

Gerald Wallace and D.J. Augustin both played well for the Bobcats. Wallace put up 21 points on 9-18 shooting and Augustine poured in 20 points. However, neither could connect on a three-point, combining to go 0-7. Gilberto Oliverio played well off the bench, scoring 12 points on 5-6 shooting. Neither team shot the ball well from behind the arc. In fact, Orlando and Charlotte were awful, combining to go 2-21. However, the Magic did much better from the foul line, hitting on 77% from the charity stripe. The Bobcats barely managed 50% (11-19). Orlando was also strong on the boards, holding a 52-34 advantage for the game. This game wasn't much different than the previous meeting on October 30th:

After being hired to turn around a NC State program that was middling at best, Coach Bason went well beyond the call of duty, and did far more than just turn them around. He set a fire underneath the Wolfpack, and after only 4 years, he built a team in his own style and brought the first National Championship to Raleigh in 2013. Two years later, running on a 30 game winning streak, the Wolfpack brought a second Championship home at the end of last season with a thrilling 24-17 victory over Auburn.

Over the course of his tenure, especially in the last two years, NC State has caught the SEC's eye. With a ridiculous record of 78-6 over the past 6 years, including an impressive 13-0 against SEC teams, the Southeastern Conference bigwigs fell in love. This offseason, they proposed marriage, and NC State accepted.

NCSU begins their first season in the SEC primed to make a run at another National Championship with one of the best senior quarterbacks in the nation, Rajon Moon. Armed with a speedy defense and a multitude of offensive weapons, Moon sees another National Championship as a fitting way to finish his senior year at State. But there is a trophy he wants even more. For all three years of his career, Moon has put up the numbers to be on the Heisman list, but he has yet to win it. His numbers got better year after year, and one can only imagine that the numbers he'll put up his senior year will be nothing less than astounding. But will it be enough to bring home the Heisman?

NC State has a nostalgic date at #14 Carolina to open up their season. These two teams may not be in the same conference any more, but don't expect that to lessen the burning hatred between them. Coach Bason only has 6 losses in 6 years, but one of them came at Carolina three years ago. Best believe he hasn't forgotten that, especially a coach on a mission for perfection.

NC State begins the season ranked #5, behind only Ohio State, Auburn, West Virginia, and Florida. With dates against two of those teams on their schedule, there seems no doubt NCSU will be back playing for a Championship...if their winning streak continues.

Later we'll take a look at the impact players on the roster, and further discuss Moon's obsession with the Heisman.

ORLANDO 86'S THE 76ERS, WIN 6TH STRAIGHT

Orlando, FL (AP) - Orlando continues its dominance, no matter where it plays. This time, the Magic smack down Philadelphia 102-77 to keep their hot streak going. As many teams have been able to do over the last year or so, Philly kept the game close, at least for a half. But, Orlando exploded in the third quarter. The Sixers started the second half with 2 quick baskets, cutting their deficit to 45-43 with 10:57 left in the third quarter. From there, it was all Orlando. The Magic went on a 17-5 run over the next six minutes to take a 14 point lead. Orlando ended up outscoring Philadelphia 35-18 in that third quarter, and it was smooth sailing from there.


VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel puts on a dunk clinic for Philly, playing well above the rim all night

Orlando's star forward, Brian Happel, took matters into his own hands, especially in that third quarter. He scored 13 of his game high 34 points, going a perfect 6-6 from the field (and connecting on his only three-point shot of the quarter). Happel was also a monster on the boards, grabbing 17 rebounds. He's also been doing better finding the open man - dishing out 4 assists in this one. In 2 games so far against the Sixers, Happel has scored 75 points and collected 29 rebounds. He's also made all four shots from long range. Overall, Happel says he's in a good position, "I think I'm in a pretty good spot. Sometimes when Coach wants to go big or small I'll move up or down. So, I get a little bit of a taste of those other spots as it is. I feel pretty comfortable with where I'm playing right now."


Happel was cleaning the glass all night, here picking up one of his 17 rebounds

The other big story in this game was the injury to Gilbert Arenas. Orlando's point guard got hurt midway through the third quarter. X-rays after the game were negative, though it looks like he suffered a separated shoulder. Arenas will likely have to sit the next few games. "It's frustrating," said Arenas afterwards, "I don't want to be sitting on the sidelines watching my teammates have all the fun! But, don't you worry, I'll be back in no time. For now, I'm just going to help the young guys as much as I can." And, those young guys are going to be getting some significant minutes due to Arenas' injury. Wayne Washington may get bumped up to the starting position, and Cory Coleman will likely see more time. If need be, the Magic can also turn to John Salmons to run the point, and even Happel can pick up some slack.

PosPlayerInjury Note
PGGilbert ArenasSeparated Shoulder; Out 1-2 Weeks


Arenas had played well before getting hurt, scoring 13 points and handing out 5 dimes. John Salmons played well during his extra minutes, scoring 10 points. Dwight Howard was very quiet in this one, scoring just 6 points on 3-4 shooting and picking up 7 boards. But, the offense was able to score more than enough points.


Happel didn't have to wait long to get involved, connecting on this alley-oop dunk and hanging on for extra effect

As for Philadelphia, Bobby Lindsey was one of the few bright spots. He scored 20 points and cleaned the glass 10 times. Evan Turner had a solid game as well, scoring 17 points on 7-16 shooting. However, team leader Andre Iguodala could not find his rythm offensively. The Sixers small forward only took 13 shots, scoring just 13 points.

Happel making the recovery on defense to block the shot from behind

Shooting was a major story line in this game. Orlando was on fire, hitting 53% of its shots from the field overall. The Magic also connected on half of their three-point attempts (7-14). When Orlando is shooting that well from deep, they're a hard time to beat. Philly, on the other hand, struggled. The Sixers made just 38% of their field goals, including an awful 3-14 from behind the arc. The Magic bench also got the job done, outscoring Philadelphia 32-17.

ORLANDO SETS PACE EARLY, BLOWS OUT INDIANA

Indianapolis, IN - Great defense plus great rebounding plus great offense equals another easy win on the road. The formula seems simple enough. Executing it isn't always easy, unless you're the Orlando Magic. Orlando cruised to yet another blowout win, this time thumping Indiana 103-75 for its fifth straight win. The Magic continued to build on their lead every quarter, starting out with a 7 point advantage after one. That grew to 9 at halftime. By the end of the third quarter, Orlando was up 15, and then the Magic really put the game out of reach by outscoring the Pacers by 13 points in the final frame. The Magic may be in the midst of an historic stretch, blowing out every opponent they beat, so far. Orlando Forward Brian Happel is certainly impressed, "Everything just seems to be clicking right now and we need to figure out why so we can keep things going the way they are."


VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel launches over a Pacers defender for the circus dunk

Speaking of Happel, it was another stellar outing. The Orlando swingman scored 36 points, grabbed 17 rebounds and dished out 4 assists. He also swiped the ball away from Indiana players three times. Dwight Howard chipped in with a decent all-around game, scoring 11 points, collecting 6 boards and dishing out 5 assists. The point guard position continues to be a concern for Magic fans. Gilbert Arenas and Wayne Washington combined for just 10 points and 4 assists, with horrible shooting numbers, going just 4-20 from the field and 1-12 from long range.


Happel and the Magic blew away the competition, including this pretty windmill dunk early on

The Pacers just couldn't get much going offensively. Danny Granger led the team in scoring with just 18 points. Darren Collison ran the point well, scoring 13 points and handing out nine dimes, though he did turnover the ball 5 times. Indiana struggled shooting the ball, connecting on just 41% from the field, including 2-17 from behind the arc. Orlando also caused the Pacers to turn over the ball 16 times. "When you don't take care of the basketball like that, you don't give yourself much of a chance," said Collison. Orlando has a day off before welcoming Philadelphia to the Amway Center on Friday night.

ORLANDO STING HORNETS, WIN ANOTHER BLOWOUT

Orlando, FL (AP) - The defending champs are on the lookout for some competition. Orlando coasted past yet another opponent, this time beating up on New Orleans 103-82. The Magic are winning games by an average of 20+ points. And, some of the teams they're destroying are not just weak teams. Orlando dismantled its rivals, the Celtics, and just slapped around the Hornets, who were 8-4 coming into the game. The difference maker in this game was the third quarter. The Magic held a slim 6 point margin at halftime. But, Orlando went on yet another one of its vaunted runs, 21-2 over the first 6 minutes of the third quarter. And, the Magic ended up outscoring New Orleans 28-8 for the quarter. The rest, as they say, is history.


Chris Paul realizing too late that he shouldn't have gotten in Happel's way

Orlando star forward Brian Happel captained the offense, as usual. He poured in a game high 41 points. Happel also came close to a triple-double, notching 13 rebounds and 8 assists. His teammates came to play, as well. Dwight Howard added a double-double, scoring 12 points and pulling down 13 boards. Gilbert Arenas, while struggling from the field (6-17 FG, 1-8 3pt.), managed to find open teammates, dishing out 7 assists. He also scored 14 points and grabbed 5 rebounds for good measure. Stephen Jackson added 15 points, connecting on 3-4 from downtown. Happel says his dominance, and his team's dominance, is really all about playing for each other, "It's really quite easy when you have teammates like mine and a coaching staff like the one we have here. When all the pieces fall into place like that, scoring the points just becomes a formality."


Just when you thought it was safe to go into the lane... Happel reminds you whose house it is

The Hornets had five players score in double-figures. However, nobody scored more than 20 points. Marcus Thornton had a team high 18 points and collected 8 rebounds. Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza also played well on the glass, grabbing 9 and 10 boards, respectively. That helped keep the rebounding total close, though Orlando outrebounded New Orleans 53-49. The Hornets bench also outperformed the Magic, scoring 35 points to just 13 for Orlando. Still, Chris Paul afterwards talked about that fateful, and dreadful, third quarter, "We just couldn't throw the ball into the ocean that quarter. It wasn't so much that they were outplaying us, as much as it was we couldn't make any shots. You've got to score the ball to win, and we just didn't get it done."


Hornets Forward Trevor Ariza waves goodbye as Happel blows by him for the dunk

Most of the stats were close, if not even favoring New Orleans at times. The Hornets shot better from behind the arc, hitting 40% of its long range bombs, while Orlando only went 6-18. But, overall shooting the basketball, the Magic were much better, hitting on 48%. New Orleans only made 36% of its shots from the floor. Orlando must now go on the road, traveling to Indiana to take on the Pacers. The Magic are certainly heading into this one hot, having won four in a row now.
