The Orlando Magic jumped out on the L.A. Lakers the other night as L.A. came storming back only to get stopped late at the O-Magic front door for a 108-104 Magic win. Orlando playing on a back to back motel swing had it going once again tonight as a 26-25 Warriors lead on Planet Oracle turned into a 64-47 Orlando lead at the break with Magic "Big" by way of Montenegro Nikola Vucevic going in again!

Vucevic had 17 of his team-high 30 points inn that first half as Terrence Ross off that Magic bench had 14 points in the 2nd frame as he and Vucevic did the Warriors some major damage in the 2nd. The Warriors were led by Kevin Durant's 17 first half points but he needed help a Klay Thompson added 11 in the half as KD and Klay combined for 28 of the "Dubs" 47 points.

That changed in the second half as the Magic knew a run was coming as did #DubNation in Planet Oracle on #WarriorsGround. K.D. added 16 more in the 3rd that made it 33 for the game at the end of three. "Dubs" also cut that 17-point Magic lead to four 83-79 Magic.


In the 4th it was all Klay and K.D. (16 pts in the 4th 49 pts on the night) as they both combined for 35 in the 4th with Klay (pictured right) getting 19 of his 28 in the 4th. The Magic found out quickly this wasn't the Lake Show playing two of the Top 5 Shooters in the world in Durant and Thompson.

T-Ross ended the night with 28 off the bench for Orlando as he and Vucevic combined for 58 of the Magic's 110 points. Warriors win 116-110 as that's twice in two games the Warriors two stars stepped up and they needed every bucket in this one.

That Warriors Bench was punished some 56-24 as "Dubs" has to get more from the Supporting players trying to get a lead role. G.S.W. moves on to 15-7 as the O-Magic falls to 10-11...
