We all know the Magic have been in a slump lately. The confusing part to me is how can the team get better unless there are changes. I don't panic over 3 or even 5 game losing streaks but I will be one of the first to voice displeasure with the situation or blog about how we lost a game. And I'll still watch every game and attend as many as I can. That's what fans do. But lately, in midst of losing the past 16 of 21, I'm concerned bigger problems might lie ahead.
Charles Barkley said it best, "Michael has lost his damn mind."
Dwight Howard slams home the game-winning shot with .2 seconds left in the game as the Orlando Magic beat the San Antonio Spurs. Jameer Nelson went nuts on the Spurs in the third quarter and tied the game at the end of the quarter with a three point shot. The Magic had significantly more energy tonight than they have in the past few games. J.J. Redick played very well tonight, putting up 13 points in the first half. Redick and Nelson combined to keep the Magic the game late in the fourth. The Spurs had chances to seal the game with back-to-back trips to the free throw line, but only converted on 1 of 4. Nelson nailed a tear-drop shot in the paint to tie the game up. Tony Parker had a chance to win the game, but Howard blocked the attempt with .8 seconds left. The block setup the 30 foot inbounds play from Hedo Turkoglu and Howard slammed it down to win the game.
