MAGIC CHOP DOWN TIMBERWOLVES, HAPPEL INJURED

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel's great defense turns into instant, break-away offense

Orlando, FL (AP) - It's one of those moments where your heart stops, as a fan, a teammate, a member of the coaching staff, the team president, family and friends all holding their breath right now. Orlando picked up another easy victory, beating Minnesota 111-89. However, the win proved to be a very costly one. With 5:42 left in the game, Magic forward Brian Happel went up for a rebound and landed awkardly on his right foot. He went down in a heap, and time seemed to stop at the Amway Center. Happel could not finish the game. Early reports indicate a twisted ankle, which could be enough to sideline him for a couple of weeks. However, the team is getting an MRI done this morning to see if there is anything torn. Happel was visibly frustrated, as he hobbled around on cruches after the game. "Injuries are a part of the game, unfortunately. But you better believe I'm gonna work my butt off to get back on the court as soon as humanly possible."

The injury overshadowed what was easily one of Happel's best all-around games of his career. He poured in 40 points on 18-22 shooting, hitting 14 shots in a row at one point. He also grabbed 11 rebounds. Happel was on his way to a possible triple-double, as well. He handed out 7 assists. And, just for good measure, he came up with 5 steals and swatted away 2 shots. "He was just a one-man wrecking crew out there," said Dwight Howard, "When he wanted to score, he scored. When he wanted a teammate to score, he found the open guy. He was a force on defense. It was an amazing performance to watch."

Happel had plenty of help from his teammates. Andray Blatche played a great game down low, scoring 25 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. He also had 5 assists and 2 steals. Center Dwight Howard was just short of a double-double with 10 points and 8 boards. John Salmons saw more action than he has in a while and took advantage, scoring 7 points on 3-6 shooting. In fact, the Magic just keep outshooting their opponents. Orlando was able to hit on 52% of its shots overall, including a respectable 5-12 from downtown.

Once again, Orlando used a fast start in the third quarter to turn what was a relatively close game into a laugher. The Magic used a 9-2 run right out of the gate after halftime to push a 10 point lead to 17, and it never really got close after that. Orlando hit on 13-22 shots from the field in the third frame, good for 59%. And, the Magic played lock-down defense, holding the Timberwolves to just 34% shooting for the quarter. The first and third quarters have been the difference makers so far this season for Orlando, outscoring its opponents by an average of about 7 points in each of those quarters.

Yunlong Lue was the offensive leader for Minnesota. The rookie swingman registered a career high 21 points. Johnny Flynn did a decent job running the offense, handing out 7 assists and scoring 13 points. The bigger story, and the positive thing to come out of this game for the Timberwolves, was the play of the bench. Minnesota outscored Orlando's bench 42-20. Still, it wasn't nearly enough.

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel was flying high, connecting on a pair of nice alley-oop passes

The Timberwolves did a sufficient job getting to the foul line, and then taking advantage once they were at the charity stripe. Minnesota made 15-16 free throws, while Orlando only shot 6-9 from the line. However, the Timberwolves struggled protecting the basketball. They turned the ball over 14 times, compared to just 7 for the Magic. That big difference was in large part due to the 12 steals Orlando came away with. Orlando also dominated on the boards, outrebounding the T-Wolves 46-33. The Magic will now wait to see how long Happel will be out for. The injury comes just in time for a tough three-game west coast road trip against Phoenix, the Clippers and the Lakers.

Happel was not shy about taking it strong to the rack, here turning a Timberwolves player into a poster shot

RED SOX WALK OFF WITH THE WIN

Boston, MA (AP) - The Fenway faithful went home a happy bunch last night thanks to the heroics of Brian McCann. The Red Sox and Rays were locked up at 5 in the bottom of the tenth inning when McCann stepped up to the plate and smacked a Lance Cormier pitch over the wall and into the bullpen in right-center field. The inning was set up thanks to a base-stealing attempt thwarted in the bottom of the ninth. Sox slugger Brian Happel was at the plate when Matt Kemp got thrown out trying to steal second base. So, Happel led off the 10th inning, and he wasted no time, belting a double off the monster in left - missing a walk-off homerun himself by just a few inches. Prince Fielder walked, and that allowed McCann to come to the plate and eventually hit the walk-off blast. "It's one of those moments I'll never forget," said McCann, "It doesn't matter if it's the regular season or game 7 of the World Series, winning a game for your team with a homerun like that is just amazing!"

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel was able to score from first after a double down the line by Prince Fielder

Boston and Tampa Bay will square off in the rubber match of the series tomorrow night. Adam Wainwright will take the mound for the Red Sox, while the Rays will counter with James Shields.

HAPPEL WELL OUT IN FRONT AS FIRST ALL-STAR BALLOT NUMBERS RELEASED

Orlando, FL (AP) - With the season Magic forward Brian Happel is happening, it's no surprise he's leading all vote-getters so far. The first ballot numbers were released this weekend. Happel is well out in front with more than 1.5 million votes already. Nobody else has one million votes yet, although LeBron James has more than 900,000.

It's no secret that Happel is a fan favorite, both in Orlando and across the NBA

In the Western Conference, Chris Paul is leading the vote tally with nearly 850,000. Kevin Durant is leading among forwards, and Lakers big man Andrew Bynum is the top center in the west, so far.

HAPPEL, ELLIS NAMED PLAYERS OF THE MONTH

Orlando, FL (AP) - In a month where Magic forward Brian Happel scored 67 points against rival Boston, 52 points in another game, and led his team to a 13-1 record, it's no surprise Happel was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month for November. "What an honor this is," said Happel upon finding out the news after practice today, "There are so many good players in this league, to be mentioned with them is great in-and-of-itself. But to be called the best is very humbling."

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel's big air dunks against Cleveland were just some of many memorable plays throughout November

Happel has been a stat-making machine so far this season. He's averaging 38.3 points per game and 12.2 rebounds per game. His assists and steals are up from last year, at 4.8 assists per game and 1.5 steals per game.

Happel was certainly number one in the Eastern Conference, tearing up every team he went up against

Happel's shooting numbers have been astounding as well. He's shooting 70% from the floor, including 44% from long range. Happel is getting to the line and taking advantage, making 94% of his shots from the charity stripe. "There's a reason why we call him 'The Captain'," commented Dwight Howard, "He's our leader, he gets us going. And, he's always hungry. How can you not follow a guy like that?" Going back to last season, Happel has won every Player of the Month award in the East since November of 2011.

Ellis has been stellar leading the surprising Golden State Warriors to a 13-6 record

Meantime, Monta Ellis was named the Western Conference's Player of the Month for November. Ellis has been almost as outstanding, scoring at a 28.6 point per game clip. He also dished out an average of 6.5 assists per game and picked up 2.1 steals per contest. Ellis, who takes a lot of perimeter shots, has not shot the ball quite as well as Happel, but the numbers are still good, including 49% from the field.

ORLANDO RIPS UP SECOND RIVAL ON THE ROAD

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel turning defense into offense, a circus dunk, and taking it strong to the basket

Boston, MA (AP) - The "magical" streak continues. Make it 10 in a row now, as Orlando has Boston fans feeling green thanks to a 103-86 victory at the T.D. Garden. The Magic got off to a hot start, leading the Celtics 28-18 after the first quarter. But, Boston turned up the defensive pressure and Orlando turned the ball over way too often, allowing the C's to cut the deficit down to 2 by halftime. Orlando came out to start the second half firing though, hitting 15-25 shots in the third quarter to regain a double-digit advantage, and it never got any closer. "If anything, we learned a valuable lesson," said Orlando forward Brian Happel, who's torched the Celtics so far this season, "That second quarter showed exactly why we have to play 48 minutes of basketball. A veteran team like that will eat you alive if you don't. We're fortunate we were able to pull away again in the second half."

Team	GP	MIN	PPG	RPG	APG	TOPG	FG%	3PT%	FT%
vs. Boston	8	41.8	32.4	12.3	4.3	2.8	.624	.517	.933

Once again, the Celtics couldn't come up with a defense to solve Happel. He went off for 44 points on 19-32 shooting, including 4 three-pointers. He also pulled down 12 rebounds and nearly completed the triple-double with 7 assists. Magic Center Dwight Howard had another monster game, scoring 18 points and grabbing 18 rebounds. Over Howard's last four games, he's averaged a shade over 20 points per game and 17.5 rebounds per game. Andray Blatche scored 16 points on his way to a milestone, scoring the 5,000th point of his career. DeJuan Blair had an excellent game off the bench, as well, scoring 10 points and collecting 5 rebounds in 18 minutes of action.

Allen struggled, shooting just 3-13, including getting this shot blocked by Happel

As for the Celtics, five players scored in double-figures, but it wasn't nearly enough. Boston's high scorer was Paul pierce, who had just 17 points. Glen Davis was a bright spot for the C's off the bench, putting together a double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds) in 33 minutes. Rajon Rondo dished out 7 assists. But, he couldn't put the ball in the ocean, hitting just 3-18 from the field.

The win allows Orlando to maintain its 2 game lead over Miami in the Southeast Division, while Boston sits in third place in the Atlantic Division, 1.5 games behind New York. While Orlando managed to shoot the ball well in getting the relatively easy victory, there are some points of improvement. The Magic turned the ball over 16 times, including 14 steals by Boston. Orlando needs to take better care of the ball. Also, the bench has not been performing very well lately, and that trend continued. The Magic bench was outscored 35-14.

Happel took advantage of any open space he had, hitting 4 three-pointers, including this one over Allen

Next week will be a busy one for Orlando. The Magic welcome Minnesota to the Amway Center Monday night, followed by three road games - Phoenix, the Clippers and the Lakers.

ORLANDO OFFENSE SIZZLES IN SOUTH BEACH

Miami, FL (AP) - The league may just want to call off the rest of the season and let everyone save themselves from embarrassment. The Magic put the entire NBA on notice this month, blowing out team after team after team. Their latest victim: the LeBron James-led Miami Heat. Orlando utterly destroyed any thoughts of a Miami win early and just continued to crush the fans throughout the night. The Magic got out to a hot start and ultimately led 24-16 after the first quarter. Miami just couldn't do much of anything, heading into halftime trailing by 13 points. Then, the third quarter happened. Orlando really caught fire, connecting on 15-23 shots, good for 65% from the field, while holding Miami to just 6-21 shooting for 28% from the floor. That allowed the Magic to outscore the Heat 33-17 and put the game well out of reach. "Games like this are so much fun," said Magic forward Brian Happel, "It's amazing when everything's clicking like that. But, to do it on the road, against your biggest rival, it doesn't get any better than that."

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel dominates Miami, from defense and a dunk, to a 3-pointer and an alley-oop

Happel scored 14 of his 33 points in the third quarter. He finished with 9 rebounds and shot 16-20 from the floor. Dwight Howard has really stepped things up since Arenas went down with his shoulder injury. Against the Heat, Howard scored 33 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, and swatted away 5 shots. He also shot 13-19 from the field and made all 7 free throw attempts. "I'm just doing everything my team needs me to do to win," commented Howard after the game, "With G-man down, I knew some of us would have to pick it up so that teams can't just focus on Haps. I'm glad I'm just able to help us keep winning like this and keep the momentum going."

Stephen Jackson was solid on the perimeter, nearly putting up a triple-double with 10 points, 6 boards and 7 assists. Cory Coleman played very well running the point off the bench, dishing out 6 dimes in 21 minutes of action. And, Marcin Gortat also played well off the bench, scoring 7 points and collecting 7 rebounds in 15 minutes.

Miami players had nowhere to go all game long, here DWade is denied by Happel and friends

Orlando's defense was outstanding. Only two players scored in double-figures for Miami: LeBron James had 25 points and Dwayne Wade added 19. Chris Bosh couldn't even put together a double-double, contributing just 9 points and 8 rebounds in 40 minutes of game action. Beyond that, Miami just did not have much help from its role players.

The win was Orlando's ninth straight. The Magic finished out November with a record of 13-1. Orlando is leaving a trail of destruction across the NBA. So far, Orlando is outscoring opponents by an average of 21.5 points a game. Miami ends November with a 13-5 record overall, good for second place in the division and the conference. These teams clashed in the Eastern Conference Finals the last two seasons, and they could be heading there again.

LeBron could only manage a wave as Happel took it in for a monstrous dunk

As if this game wasn't emotional enough. Orlando will stay on the road to face another huge rival - the Boston Celtics. Boston will have revenge on its mind, looking to get back at Orlando for the 105-71 beatdown at the Amway Center. It was a record-breaking performance for Happel in that one:

FLASHBACK: Happel poured in 5 three-pointers on his way to a team record 67 points

As for last night's rivalry matchup against Miami, Orlando managed to dominate in a lot of different ways. The biggest stat that stands out: shooting. The Magic shot 56% from the floor, compared to the Heat shooting just 32%. Orlando also did a better job finding open teammates, picking up 26 assists, while Miami only had 10 for the entire game. And, once again, the Magic dominated on the boards, wiping the glass clean 49 times. Miami managed just 33 rebounds.
