Final
Magic hope to start another win streak
Dec 3, 2008 - 2:45 PM Minnesota (4-12) at Orlando (13-5) 7:00 pm ESTORLANDO, Florida (Ticker) -- The Orlando Magic had a four-game win streak snapped during their last game. Starting a new streak could be a bit easier.
The Magic look to bounce back Wednesday when they host the struggling Minnesota Timberwolves.
Despite a game-high 30 points from Rashard Lewis and 14 points from Dwight Howard, Orlando dropped a 107-88 decision to the defending champion Boston Celtics on Monday.
While their current winning came to an end, the Magic have a chance to rebound quickly with their next three games against the Timberwolves, Oklahoma City and the Los Angeles Clippers, who are at the bottom of the Western Conference and own a combined 9-42 record.
Minnesota hopes to avoid its fourth loss in five games on Wednesday after suffering a 100-90 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats on Monday.
Randy Foye scored 23 points while Mike Miller chipped in 19, including 5-of-8 3-pointers for the Timberwolves, who connected on 11-of-25 (44 percent) from behind the arc. However, Minnesota received just eight points from its two interior starters, Al Jefferson and Jason Collins, and were dominated in the paint, 48-26.
