Jason Richardson scored 17 points and Ryan Anderson scored 12 for the Magic, who have won three straight. Granger made a 3-pointer to make it 83-81, but Granger was called for a foul on the Magic's next trip down the floor and Anderson went to the line with 4.2 seconds left. The Pacers had the chance to tie the game earlier. Granger scored to make it 80-77, then the Magic missed a shot and Granger missed a 3-pointer that would have tied the game. On the rebound, Granger fouled Hedo Turkoglu and Turkoglu was then called for a technical when he tossed the ball down the floor and into the stands. Granger made his shot, but Turkoglu made one of his two to make it 81-78. The Magic climbed to a 12-point lead midway through the third quarter. A slight scuffle broke out late in the third quarter. Granger was getting ready to inbound the ball in front of the Magic's bench when Quentin Richardson, who was in the game at the time, appeared to confront Granger. It escalated when Richardson shoved Granger and Hansbrough and Clark exchanged shoves. Technicals were called on Granger and Richardson, then one eachHO on Hansbrough and Clark. Richardson was then ejected from the game after picking up a second technical. The Magic played without Jameer Nelson for the fifth straight game.

• Magic Back On Track With Win Over Pacers February 5, 2012
  After beating Cleveland on Friday night in Orlando, the Magic (15-9) had to make an arduous journey to get to Saturday night’s game in Indianapolis.  The team spent Friday night in northern Kentucky and flew from the Cincinnati area to Indianapolis International Airport Saturday afternoon because they couldn’t get a hotel in the host city of Sunday’s Super Bowl.  However, the maddening trip didn’t disrupt the team as they downed the Indiana Pacers (16-7) 85-81. After a tight first half which ended with the two teams tied at 39, the Magic started the third quarter on a 14-2 run led by Jason Richardson who scored half of those 14 points.  Orlando outscored Indiana 23-14 in the third quarter to take a nine point lead into the final 12 minutes of play. Tensions flared with just over a minute remaining in the third quarter.  As the Pacers brought the ball down the floor, Earl Clark and Tyler Hansbrough got into an argument for which both received technical fouls.  Also in that play, ...
• Despite Mavs’ Loss to Pacers, Dirk Gives Fans Hope that He’s Not Done Yet February 4, 2012
  It’s no secret that Charles Barkley isn’t afraid to say what he means, and he did just that on ESPN Dallas radio this week. When asked about Dirk Nowitzki and his struggles this season, Barkley, as usual, didn’t mince words. “Dirk’s getting old, bro. Dirk’s getting old,” he stated. ”Dirk’s been a great, great player for a long time. At some time, he’s been in the playoffs pretty much every year. Father time, bro. Father time is catching up with him. That’s all it is.” Dirk’s performances so far this season have many Mavs fans wondering if it’s just a temporary slump, or if indeed Barkley may be right. In Friday’s game against the Pacers, the reigning NBA Finals’ MVP showed that he had a little something to say in response to Sir Charles and all the fans that have reluctantly allowed worry to creep into their minds. Despite the Mav’s 98-87 loss to the Indiana Pacers, Dirk had his bes...

• Defending Champs Victims of Paul George's Coming Out Party February 4, 2012
  Admit it. Deep down, you thought the Pacers were going to lose today against the defending champs. Well, not if Paul George had anything to say about it.The second-year player broke out today for a career high 30 points, including 7 treys, plus 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals and a block with no turnovers in a game high 41 minutes as the Pacers dominated the second half en route to a 98-87 victory. Yes, the Pacers are now 16-6 and 10-5 on the road for the season.In actuality, it was a team effort. David West was in beast mode again with 20 points on 9-11 shooting. Danny Granger had 16 but shot poorly (5-18), but the shots he did hit were big, making the poor percentage seem less painful than it really was. Big Roy Hibbert struggled from the field to score only 9 points, but had 14 rebounds and a couple of blocks.The real concern for the Pacers was the bench (again), which is really starting to make me doubt those boasts about having one of the deepest benches in the league. W...
