Highlights
MVP: Arron Afflalo. After a bad outing against the Pacers, Afflalo bounced back by dropping a game high 28 points knocking down 6 treys in the process. Afflalo also hauled in 8 rebounds and dished out 2 assist in the win.
LVP: Kevin Martin. Martin struggled on both ends of the floor scoring 13 points on 4-of-17 shooting. Whenever he Afflalo would get a rest, he would have to deal with Oladipo's defense. The only bright spot of Martin's night was his 6 rebounds and 6 assist.
X-Factor: Jason Maxiell. Maxiell drew the job of guarding Kevin Love and did a pretty good job on him. Maxiell held Love to 9-of-19 shooting including holding Love scoreless the entire 4th quarter.
Turning Point: After a tight 1st quarter, the Magic erupted for 36 points in the 2nd quarter while holding the Wolves to 16. The Magic never trailed the rest of the game.
