PISTONS OFFENSE STALLS, ORLANDO WINS BIG

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel with a contact layup, blocked shot and a step-back "3"

Orlando, FL (AP - Orlando is getting back into the groove of things with its starting lineup back on the court. The Magic blow out yet another opponent, thanks in part to a fantastic start in the first quarter, smacking down Detroit 92-69 in front of a packed house at the Amway Center. Orlando started off the game on fire, making 12 of its first 15 shots over the course of 8:27. But, the Pistons didn't fold right away. Detroit came out in the second quarter firing, going on a 9-0 run that cut the deficit to three points. Orlando then went on a 20-6 run of its own, capped by a Wayne Washington jumper with 2:23 left in the first half. That gave Orlando a 17 point advantage, and the Magic never looked back.

Happel pulling down one of his season-high 21 rebounds

Magic forward Brian Happel was a monster on the boards, cleaning the glass like it was nobody's business. Happel finished with a whopping 21 rebounds, including 18 on the defensive end.
"I just want to keep showing Coach that I'm capable of doing more," said Happel, "If I can do that, and keep working on making my teammates better, then we'll have a lot of good things in store for us ahead."

Happel also poured in 25 points, dished out 5 assists and had 2 blocked shots to round out another excellent performance. Dwight Howard was not a factor on offense, but he contributed on the glass as well, collecting 12 boards. Andray Blatche played well offensively, scoring 18 points on 9-13 shooting from the field. Stephen Jackson remains in a deep slump. He only hit on 6 of 21 shots, and missed all 6 of his attemps from long range.

Detroit struggled all game long shooting. The Pistons shot just 31% in the first half - and finished shooting about the same percentage for the game. Rodney Stuckey and Paul George were among the worst offenders. George was just 5-15 from the field, missing on all 5 of his three-point attempts. Stuckey was even worse, going 3-22 from the field. There were two bright spots: both Michael Beasley and Greg Monroe put up double-doubles and shot a combined 9 of 17 from the floor.

Happel wasted no time jump-starting Orlando's offense with this nice alley-oop on the first play of the game

Detroit fans won't have long to wait for their chance at revenge. The Pistons welcome Orlando to The Palace at Auburn Hills tomorrow night. The Magic are hoping to end 2012 on a winning note. And, they'll likely be on a plane when the clock strikes midnight and we enter into a new year. Orlando has a matchup back at the Amway Center on New Year's Day, against Memphis.
