Nelson Sparks Magic in Win
Jameer Nelson and the Orlando Magic gave the Dallas Mavericks something they haven't experienced all season - a three-game losing streak.
Nelson scored 27 points and Hedo Turkoglu added 25 as the Magic posted a 108-99 victory over the Mavericks, who dropped their third straight contest.
Orlando's bench put together a 12-2 run in the second quarter, capped by Carlos Arroyo's jumper that made it 41-29 with 5:09 left. The Magic got 20 points from their reserves in the first half to build a 56-44 advantage.
"It's not about the starting five or second five," said Nelson, who watched Orlando's bench outscore Dallas' reserves, 30-11. "It's about team. We've got so many weapons on this team, you don't know where the scoring's going to come from."
