Timberwolves-Magic Preview

The Orlando Magic were scheduled to have three days off without a game after getting blown out in their last game. They should be ready to play now that they have unexpectedly had an extra day off.

The Magic return to the court Wednesday night after having a game postponed due to bizarre circumstances when they try to hand the Minnesota Timberwolves a 15th straight road loss.

Orlando (1-1) has not seen action since Friday's 96-70 loss at Miami. The Magic were scheduled to play in New York on Tuesday, but the game was postponed due to safety concerns after debris fell into Madison Square Garden during overnight cleaning of asbestos-related materials.

Coach Stan Van Gundy held two long practices after the loss in Miami. The Magic shot 30.4 percent for their worst mark since they finished at 30.4 percent Feb. 11, 2009, in an 82-73 loss to Denver.

"We have to really get into executing on offense, passing better and screening better," Van Gundy said. "We've got a lot of guys who see themselves as scorers and we don't have a lot of guys who see themselves as role players. We have proven that our offense can be good against a lot of people, but against the absolute best teams we struggle because we haven't done those little things."

Van Gundy's practice sessions focused on setting screens. He's hoping it will help the Magic improve on their 25.0 percent 3-point shooting after they finished third in the league at 37.5 percent in 2009-10.

"You gotta let it go, it's the NBA," guard Jameer Nelson said. "You win, you can't get too high. You lose, you can't get too low. Obviously, it's game two, you have 80 left."

One player looking to move on is Rashard Lewis, who is averaging 19.5 points and shooting 48.4 percent on 3-pointers in Orlando's four-game winning streak over Minnesota (1-3). Lewis missed all nine shots and fouled out in 24 minutes against Miami.

"We totally didn't play well on offense at all and defense we made mistakes," Lewis said. "On offense, there was no rhythm at all with just five assists.

"It just lets you know that we've got to play harder. We hadn't lost a game in a month, going undefeated in preseason and we just felt like the way we lost was embarrassing. You can take a loss, but not like that."

Minnesota also enters off a blowout loss in Miami, but it's one that may be more costly. The Timberwolves fell 129-97 on Tuesday, and forward Michael Beasley suffered a bruised hip and did not play in the second half in his first game against his former team.

Beasley's status for Wednesday is unclear.

"It's unfortunate," coach Kurt Rambis said. "Right now we don't have the luxury of having someone like him, a starter, being out of the ballgame."

The Timberwolves have not won on the road since a 91-88 victory at Miami on Feb. 23.

Big first half propels Magic past Wolves, 128-86

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Dwight Howard had a crisp blue-and-white bow tie and a white sweater over his shirt in the locker room, the same outfit he planned to wear in New York a night earlier. Except that game was canceled.

So he brought everything out of the closet for this one.

Howard had 18 points, 16 rebounds and eight blocked shots to help the Orlando Magic set a team record for most points in the first half and hand the Minnesota Timberwolves their worst loss in franchise history, 128-86 on Wednesday night.

"I thought with two of your last four games having been called off, I thought it was a victory just that this one started," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said, chuckling.

If only the Timberwolves were so lucky.

Vince Carter had 20 points, Ryan Anderson scored 19 and the Magic shook up the starting lineup to score 78 points in the opening half for an easy win. Orlando started Anderson at power forward, moved Rashard Lewis to small forward and bumped Quentin Richardson out of the starting lineup.

The new-look lineup worked just fine.

Kevin Love had 22 points and Corey Brewer scored 12 for the Timberwolves, who lost on consecutive nights in Florida by 74 points. Minnesota fell by 32 a night earlier in Miami and has lost four of its first five games.

It was the largest margin of defeat in Timberwolves history. The previous was 41 points against Miami on March 5, 1996.

"These are hard lessons for a young team to learn," Minnesota coach Kurt Rambis said. "They didn't play well offensively and do the right things, and we clearly didn't do the right things defensively either."

The Timberwolves also had to contend with a Magic team that been simmering for five days since the Heat blew them away.

The layoff was prolonged because Orlando's game Tuesday night against the Knicks was postponed due to safety concerns at Madison Square Garden, where debris fell into the arena during overnight cleaning of asbestos-related materials. Orlando also had a preseason game against Miami in Tampa canceled after an oily cleaning substance made the court too slick.

The well-rested Magic finally got a chance to let out their frustrations.

With Howard doing his work on the inside, that freed up Orlando's shooters to hit 3-pointers at will. Anderson alone made three straight 3-pointers on consecutive possessions, Carter had three 3s and J.J. Redick and Chris Duhon combined to hit three more to give the Magic a 78-45 lead.

And that was just the first half.

The outpouring was the most points in a first half in franchise history, breaking the previous mark of 75 against Sacramento on Jan. 13, 2009. That was the same night Orlando set an NBA record with 23 made 3-pointers. The Magic finished with 15 made 3-pointers against Minnesota.

It was a strong showing - albeit against one of the NBA's worst teams - for Van Gundy's lineup swap. For the first time in years in a regular-season game, Orlando started Lewis down at small forward and moved Anderson into the lineup at power forward.

"It was great to score like 80 points in a half but that's not really realistic on a game-to-game basis," Anderson said. "But of course it's fun moving the ball like that."

Of course, the Timberwolves didn't put up near the fight as LeBron James and the rival Miami Heat, who routed Orlando 96-70 in the Magic's last game Friday night. Minnesota was already playing short-handed with Michael Beasley nursing a sore left hip after he took a hard fall at Miami on Tuesday night.

The lengthy lineup exposed the Timberwolves' lack of depth, size and overall talent against one of the Eastern Conference's elite. The play was often embarrassing at times for Minnesota, too.

On one play in the third quarter, Love and Brewer inadvertently tipped a rebound in for a Magic basket. Wayne Ellington dribbled the ball off his leg earlier in the game for a backcourt violation, and Howard swatted Minnesota shots into the stands more than once.

"They told me to grab them, but I just think sometimes blocking a shot, sending it out of bounds, shows a team that it's not going to be easy coming into the paint," Howard said. "Grabbing it, that's like being a show off, even though it is kind of cool."

NOTES: Howard was called for his second technical foul this season. He threw his arms in the air, then clapped his hands forcefully protesting his second foul in the first two minutes. Howard also had a technical foul against Miami. ... Love had a technical foul in the second half for arguing.

Wolves-Magic notebook

By Dick Scanlon, for NBA.com
Posted Wednesday November 3, 2010 10:52PM

THE FACTS: Vince Carter's 20 points led seven Orlando players in double figures and the Magic piled up 78 points in the first half of a 128-86 rout of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Kevin Love scored a game-high 22 points for the Timberwolves, who played without injured forward Michael Beasley (hip contusion).

QUOTABLE: "When two of your last four games have been called off, I thought it was a victory that this one started."

-- Magic coach Stan Van Gundy

THE STAT: Coming into the game as the NBA leader in rebound percentage, the Timberwolves took a 56-40 beating on the boards.

TURNING POINT: Minnesota led 10-6 when Ryan Anderson opened a 49-12 Orlando run with three 3-pointers in a span of 56 seconds.

QUOTABLE II: "They just came out and stomped us tonight. And that's really all there is to it."

-- Kevin Love

HOT: Magic center Dwight Howard came two blocks short of a triple-double (18 points, 16 rebounds, eight blocks) in just 23 minutes.

NOT: The Timberwolves lost by 74 points in back-to-back games in Florida. The good news? "It is behind us," said coach Kurt Rambis.

GOOD MOVE: The 6-foot-10 Anderson started at power forward, with Rashard Lewis moving to small forward in what may or may not have been a one-game switch. "I thought it was the best matchup tonight, and we'll see what happens," Van Gundy said.

ROOKIE WATCH: Wesley Johnson got his first start in place of Beasley, putting up eight points and four rebounds in 30 minutes.

NOTABLE: The Magic set a franchise record for points in a first half with 78, breaking the record of 75 set on Jan. 13, 2009, at Sacramento ... It was the most one-sided loss in Timberwolves history, exceeding a 41-point loss to Miami on March 5, 1996.
