The Thunder had their only leads of the game at 2-0 and 4-2 before...

Some of the best stats out there, ones that most fans familiar with advanced stats know about, are actually based on estimates using box score data. For example, when we calculate Marcin Gortat 's Offensive Rebound Rate, we're trying to determine what percentage of available offensive rebounds he collected while he was on the court. However, we don't really know how many rebounds were available. We...

Jameer Nelson missed practice as well, but Van Gundy expects him to be available tomorrow. Van Gundy said Nelson tested negative for any kind of flu and has an upper respiratory infection. That's similar to what Matt Barnes played with earlier this season. And finally,...

And finally, SG J.J. Redick, who tweaked his ankle yesterday, was having trouble moving laterally in practice. "We did get a little bit of 5-on-5 in, about 15 minutes," Van Gundy said. "But Brandon [Bass] tired very quickly and J.J.’s ankle is still bothering him, so we got down to eight really quickly." The good news for the Magic is they will go from having zero power forwards...

The final score was not an indication about how one-sided this game was, as Cleveland had a 20 point lead with under six minutes remaining in the game before a meaningless Magic run in the final five minutes. LeBron James and Mo Williams combined for 64 points. The Magic had their only lead of the game at 9-7, as the Cavaliers shot 65% in the first quarter to lead 35-28. The Cavaliers extended their...

by Sue Ogrocki - AP View full size photo » In one of their ugliest performances in recent memory, the Orlando Magic fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 102-74, to drop to 5-2 on the season. Poor shooting, lazy defense, an utter lack of effort... this game is one the Magic would like to forget.

The Magic actually had a decent start, as they led 25-23 after one quarter. They had their largest lead of the game at 33-27 with just...
