I don't know, but he didn't do that bad of a job.

 

Everyone is going to get beat on the screen as bad as he did if your big man doesn't step out to hedge it.

[Hedo For 3 0]

SVG is treating JJ like the angry midget did last year. missed shot, sit down and the team barely looks to him, a few times he was so far out of the play the carema man couldn't find him in a wide shot.

SECOND QUARTER

Hedo starts off the second quarter with a short fadeaway jumper in the lane to give the lead back to the Magic at 31-30.

 

Dwight Howard starts the second quarter on the bench as he is well on his way to his 21st double-double of the season with his 10 points and seven rebounds.

 

With Dwight on the bench, the Magic are looking for Hedo on the left block and a double down on Hedo leaves Bogans open at the top of the key where he buries his second three of the game. Bogans has 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting.

 

The Grizz get back-to-back hoops and take a five point lead at 39-34 three minutes into the second period.

 

Hakim Warrick and Andre Brown each stroke jumpers forcing Van Gundy to call a timeout with the Grizzles ahead 43-36. The Grizzles have shot the ball tremendously well converting on 55 percent of their field goal attempts.

 

Jameer Nelson comes out of the timeout and takes the ball to the hoop strong making a layup. Mike Miller answers but J.J. Redick hits a three to answer Miller.

 

Bogans puts back a Redick miss to cut the Memphis lead to four at 47-43 but Mike Miller with his 12th point puts his team back up by six.

 

Nelson and Turk finish at the rim forcing a Memphis timeout with the Magic still trailing 49-47 with 4:50 to go in the half.

 

The Magic must see something different in the Grizzley defense because most of their points tonight have come via the drive and finish at the rim with 30 of their 49 points coming inside the paint.

 

Turk hits a three giving the Magic back the lead at 52-51 with three minutes left in the half. Dwight grabs an offensive rebound, his 12th rebound of the game, and feeds a cutting Mo Evans for a slam.

 

Turk hits another three from the right wing giving the Magic a four point advantage and Keyon Dooling adds to the lead with a jumper. The Magic lead 59-53 with one minute left in the half.

 

The half ends with the Magic ahead by four at 59-55.

 

Halftime: Orlando Magic 59, Memphis Grizzles 55
