Orlando, FL (AP) - On a night where the team and its fans celebrated a championship, Orlando made sure to send everyone home happy, beating Philadelphia 105-93 in the home opener for the Magic. It was a frustrating first half for Orlando, which also struggled against another lowly team, the Wizards, in the team's season opener. But, the Magic really turnred it on in the second half. Orlando used a 15-4 run to close out the third quarter, giving the team an eight point lead going into the final quarter. The Magic then used a 12-4 run midway through the fourth to grab a 15 point lead, never looking back.

As for the Magic, they've won their last two games and have a couple days off before a back-to-back early next week against Toronto and Cleveland. Happel knows just how important it is for the team to get its rest, even early in the season, "I think Coach has a pretty good handle on this team, and if he sees that we're worn down during a long road trip or after a back-to-back, he'll give us a day off."
