ORLANDO COOLS OFF SUNS, WIN FIRST GAME WITHOUT HAPPEL

Phoenix, AZ (AP) - Sometimes, timing really is everything. After losing swingman Brian Happel to an injury two nights ago against Minnesota, and still missing point guard Gilbert Arenas, the first team standing in Orlando's way was Phoenix. The Suns have struggled this year, and the Magic took advantage of that. Orlando used a strong third quarter to pull ahead by double digits and never look back for the 98-85 win on the road.

"Everyone's just going to have to step up while our guys get healthy," commented Stephen Jackson after the game, who led the Magic in scoring with 31 points, "It may be a tough couple of weeks, but we'll be a better team because of it." Jackson has been running more point guard lately since Gilbert Arenas got hurt, and while Jackson did some scoring, he also dished out 8 assists. Dwight Howard was a monster around the basket, scoring 17 points and grabbing 14 rebounds. Orlando used the foul line to do a lot of scoring, going 23-32 from the charity stripe. The Magic also shot the ball well, once again, hitting 50% from the field, including 7-18 from long distance.

Zach Randolph led the way for Phoenix, scoring 20 points. However, he struggled shooting the ball, going just 6-17 from the field. Josh Childress contributed a double-double, scoring 13 and grabbing 10 boards. Up next for Orlando, a couple of days in Hollywood. The Magic take on the Clippers Friday night at Staples Center, followed by the Lakers on Saturday night.
