    Great game by Orlando.

    Steve Francis really came through when Orlando needed him most, and Battie was there down the stretch for some important boards. Dwight had a decent game as well and he was crashing the boards. Although he didn't get some calls against Duncan (some of which he should have), he kept playing and was relentless. Grant Hill struggled but he was being defended by Bruce Bowen who is known for his tight D.

    Overall, the win was a team effort and everyone stepped up when they were needed.

    Very nice win by the Magic over the Spurs this win makes up for there lose at San ANtonio and regains there respect from that blown lead that game. There is really not much to be said about this game except great Orlando Magic victory. The Magic are now on there way to showing how good a team they really are I mean this Spurs team is argueable the best overall team in the NBA.

    Steve Francis again showed he was the Magics leader this game twenty nine points not often you see that from a point guard very impressive game by him today. I can not see how it could get much better for him it was a pretty good overall game.

    I usually make a five paragraph recap or close to that, but a win over the Spurs needs no more recapping then saying. We beat the Spurs! lol hopefully we keep it up next game.

    big stevie is just on form currently, man you run out of superalitives talking about the franchise now. Howard had a big board game first half and battie just had it running the whole game. Cat, quiet in the first hit some big big shots that really drove some daggers in. Hill, a quiet game by his standards, but did his job and chipped in. have to say that Nelson had a good game again, hes just doing his job nicely off the bench, I feel confident with him on the court now.

    I went to this game and it was awesome! Before the game I got a Manu Ginobili autograph and a Jameer Nelson autograph. Then on top of that, the Magic played a great game and won! That had to be one of best times of my life. GO MAGIC!

    MagicFan3 very nice on the autographs.
    Now to the game, I liked how the defense in zone kept them from scoring but what was a problem was duncun in man to man. Every team has there go-to guy thats stevio for us and tim for them but if a double team comes they find another player we have to have battie or cato or howard get big in the defense area.
    Another thing I liked was how howard got mad when they didnt call a foul for him he sprinted down the court and blocked the shot just shows he is targeting his anger which is good. Another was the fancyness of stevio his dunk is a highlight on espn sportcenter and espn2. The tecks should not have been called good thing they missed them but seriously a tech to stevio for hitting the ball so they can take it out? And the refs were not so much for the magic i saw some calls for both teams that should have been called and wernt but the most ridiculous one was calling it out on magic as clearly tim duncun hit it out the replay showed it clear and the ref was right there.

    Anyway very nice game against the best playoff team likely to win the championship so they say.
