The Clippers stood around midway through the fourth quarter as Orlando's Jason Smith scurried to grab a long rebound off a missed three-point attempt by Shabazz Napier.
Fans inside Staples Center booed the lack of effort by a team that was being not only outplayed but outhustled on its home court. Falling back to .500 appeared likely with the Clippers trailing by double figures.
That sequence made the blur that followed all the more dizzying, the Clippers racing past the Magic over the final 51/2 minutes for a 103-101 victory Saturday night at Staples Center.
