ORLANDO CRUSHES NEW YORK FOR 8TH STRAIGHT WIN

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel knocking down some shots just in the "knick" of time, beating the 1st and 2nd quarter buzzers and a shot clock

Orlando, FL (AP) - Gilbert Arenas makes his return to the lineup, and the Magic dispatch of yet another team, blowing out the Knicks 116-92. Orlando didn't waste any time getting to work against New York. The Magic jumped out to a 9 point advantage in the first quarter. And, Orlando caught fire in the second quarter, putting to bed any chances the Knicks may have had of coming back. The Magic made 12-18 shots from the field in the second frame, good for 66%, while New York could only manage to connect on 8-23 shots (34%). The result was a 56-37 halftime lead, and Orlando was well on its way to another easy victory. Gilbert Arenas started the game, after missing the last two games with back spasms, "It still hurts a lot, but I couldn't stand sitting on the sidelines," said Arenas after the game, "So, I basically just kept bugging Coach until he finally let me give it a go. It's hard, but it's better than watching." Arenas played well, dishing out 10 assists in 21 minutes of action.

Magic forward Brian Happel had another big night, as he inches closer to a major milestone. Happel's 48 points against the Knicks has him 28 points away from 5,000 for his career. Happel also was a force on the glass, grabbing 14 rebounds, and he also hit three bombs from behind the arc. Happel got plenty of help from his teammates, especially in the rebounding department. Dwight Howard and DeJuan Blair both tallied double-digits in that category (13 and 11, respectively). Stephen Jackson even added 8 boards from the shooting guard position. Howard also poured in 17 points on 7-10 shooting.

Happel was more than pumped to play the Knicks, scoring 48 points

For the Knicks, one of the few bright spots was the play of Amare Stoudemire. He scored 24 points on 11-24 shooting, grabbed 10 rebounds, and picked up 3 steals. Second year guard Garrett Freeman also played well, putting in 14 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. However, Freeman also turned the ball over 5 times and missed all 7 three-point attempts. Allen Iverson's age is really starting to show, as the small guard only managed 9 points.

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel launched an all-out air assault on New York

Happel really took over in both the first and third quarters, scoring a combined 32 out of his 48 points in those 2 periods. In the third quarter alone, Happel scored 11 of Orlando's 14 points in a 3:02 span. As usual, the Magic had no problem putting the ball in the hoop, connecting on 55% of its field goal attempts. The Knicks weren't terrible, but weren't great either, shooting 43%. The big difference was from behind the three-point line. Orlando hit on nearly 50% of its long range attempts (6-13), while New York was just 4-21.

There's no rest for the weary. The Magic go back on the road for the second half of a back-to-back, taking on Atlanta. The Hawks are the one team Orlando seems to be struggling with so far, this year. The Magic lost both games, including a 92-90 defeat at home in November. Happel had 37 points and 11 rebounds in that one, but it wasn't enough. Then, last month, Atlanta beat up on Orlando, winning by 16, again at the Amway Center. Happel didn't play in that contest. The Magic will look to get into the win column against the Hawks tonight in Atlanta.

Happel once again showing he's always ready to make the big shot, here sticking a three ball to end the first quarter.
