Sorry, I had to get that out of the way; didn’t really know how else to start this. Veteran forward Marreese Speights exploded Monday night for 18 points in 22 minutes for the Magic, including a career-high six three-point field goals.

The Magic were able to clamp down their defense in the second half, holding the Pelicans to a mere 35 points in the final two quarters.
