Orlando, We Got A Problem!
Mavs bring Magic back to earth with a thud....
Here we see two teams who are under performing, the Mavs though will be heavily favoured to win this one. Although the Magic came off a huge against the Spurs recently, you can't put out the thought of the Magic stealing this one. With stars like Dirk, Nash, Finely, Walker & Jamison you would think they have the likes of TMAC, Gooden, Hunter & Damon covered. Watch for the big battle between Nash and Damon at the point, the two current league leading PG's.
Result: Orlando Magic 103 @ Dallas Mavericks 109 
First qurter started off with both teams shooting nicely. With Drew Gooden leading the way with 10pts and 6rebs in the opening term. TMAC had 4 assists. Finley was proving hard to defend as he had 11pts. Game tied at 26.
 
Magic get ot a 7pt lead with 4mins left in the term. Mavs then hit back and somehow take a 52-47 lead, incredible outside shooting must have done the job. Gooden had 12pts for the half whilst Finley had 14 for the Mavs.
 
Mavs proving very hard to defend, the outside shooting of Finley and Nash damaging as the Magic try to fight back. Everytime we we would get within 1 they would hit something big. Mavs lead 79-74.
Magic are within 2pts of the lead with 32secs left. Nash somehow makes a 4pt play to leave the Magic dwelling in what could have been. The Mavs take a 109-103 win over the very much excited Magic team who now knoe where they belong.
