Spurs continue tough road trip against struggling Magic

Feb 9, 2007 - 3:59 PM San Antonio (33-16) at Orlando (25-25) 7:00 pm EST

ORLANDO, Florida (Ticker) -- The San Antonio Spurs hope for a smooth ride through the rest of their rodeo road trip.

The Spurs shoot for their second straight win Friday when they visit the struggling Orlando Magic.

Each season, San Antonio vacates the AT&T Center for an extended period when a rodeo show comes to the city. It has worked out in recent year for the Spurs, who are 25-6 over the last four seasons on the annual road swing.

Currently on an eight-game road swing, the Spurs improved to 2-2 on the trek with Wednesday's impressive 110-83 triumph over Washington.

Tony Parker scored 20 points, including 14 in the first quarter, All-Star Tim Duncan had 20 points and seven rebounds and Manu Ginobili added 18 points off the bench for San Antonio.

The Spurs look to take advantage of the struggling Magic, who have lost six out of their eight games. Despite his team's struggles, All-Star Dwight Howard has had a stellar season, posting 34 double-doubles.

Orlando looks to bounce back from Wednesday's 113-103 loss to Toronto. Howard had one of his best performances of the season, scoring a career-high 32 points and grabbing nine rebounds.

The Magic have lost five of their last six home contests against the Spurs.
