    Golden State Warriors (13-14) @ Orlando Magic (17-10)

    Amway Arena, Orlando, Florida

    7:00 pm ET, SUN SPORTS


    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Orlando Magic lead the Southeast Division thanks to tough defense, but aren't known for their scoring - something that could change with the Golden State Warriors coming to town.

    The Magic (17-10) look to continue their home domination of the Warriors (13-14) when the teams meet Friday night for the first time this season.

    Orlando is holding teams to 92.0 points per game, among the fewest in the NBA, and has given up more than 100 points just five times. The Magic rely heavily on that defensive effectiveness, as they're scoring only 92.5 points a contest and haven't broken 90 in eight straight games, including Wednesday's 86-83 win over New Orleans.

    Orlando, though, has been much more efficient offensively against the Warriors at Amway Arena. The Magic have averaged 112.5 points in the last 13 matchups on their home court, winning 12 of those games.

    They hope to continue that success against a Warriors team that is allowing a league-worst 105.9 points per game.</div>

    Game just started and so far we're doing really good.

    Jameer has hit his first three shots and has 7 points and a steal early in the first quarter.

    Monta Ellis vs Jameer Nelson will be a great matchup.

    Our team hasn't been able to do anything when Carlos Arroyo is running the offense.

    23 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists tonight for Trevor Ariza. This kid is going to be a star.

    And that's where the positives end for tonight's game.

    Yea, I hate to blame Refs but damn, the Magic's ass must be hurting cuz the Refs were raping us on calls tonight.... I think the refs might have been confused, i think they thought Baron Davis was Dwayne Wade... We played like crap but the refs did not call a good game tonight.. Trevor played very well, he is gonna do good things for us down the stretch...

    What frustrates me the most about this game is watching Foyle score 20 plus points.... If Foyle is capable of scoring that many points than I think it's safe to say that it is a sign of the apocalpyse.
