L.A. CLIPS ORLANDO, ENDING 12 GAME WIN STREAK

Los Angeles, CA (AP) - Well, it was bound to happen. Playing a good team short-handed just didn't add up to a good night at the Staples Center. The "other" L.A. team beat up on Orlando, winning 101-83. The fourth quarter proved to be deadly for the Magic. Orlando had managed to get the deficit under double digits by the end of the third quarter. But, the Clippers outscored the Magic 29-19 in the final frame to get the easy victory. Shooting was the story in this one. Usually, Orlando is the team with the shooting advantage. But on this night, the Magic shot just 45% from the field, including a woeful 2-14 from long distance. Meantime, the Clippers connected on 51% of their shots. Turnovers were the other story, Orlando giving up 21 of them. "When we're sloppy with the ball like that, there's no way we're going to win," said Dwight Howard.

Howard did all he could to help his team win. He scored 29 points on 12-15 shooting from the field and grabbed 12 rebounds. Stephen Jackson also played well, scoring 15 points and handing out 10 dimes. But, he also had 5 turnovers. DeJuan Blair also struggled holding on to the ball, with 6 turnovers. And, Andray Blatche had a poor night shooting, going just 2-15 from the field.

For the Clippers, there wasn't one player that really dominated. Five players scored in double-figures, including rookie small forward O.J. Marshall, who led the way with 20 points. Blake Griffin didn't get a lot of shots, scoring just 12 points on 5-10 shooting, while grabbing 8 boards.

The good news for Orlando is that it looks like they'll be getting their floor general back. Gilbert Arenas is expected to return to the lineup later tonight when the Magic take on their rivals, the Lakers, in an NBA Finals rematch.
