The Minnesota Timberwolves have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA since the All-Star break, winners of seven of their previous eight.
They came into the Amway Center Friday night riding a six-game winning streak. But they will leave Orlando with a new (and different) kind of streak.
The Magic rode a wave of second half momentum on their way to a 118-110 home victory over the Timberwolves. After missing nine of their first ten three-point field goals, Orlando finished the game shooting 16 for 40 from beyond the arc (40.0 percent).
“Our fans are just fantastic,” Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley told reporters after the game.
