NBA -- Orlando weaves magic, shocks Clippers (Photos) By Ryan Medida PhilBoxing.com Mon, 14 Jan 2013  SAN FRANCISCO -- The Orlando Magic erased a 13-point deficit, including nine in the fourth quarter, to beat the red-hot L.A.Clippers --104-101 -- on Saturday at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. Arron Afflalo led the Magic charge with 30 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, but it was J.J. Redick's dagger 3 in the final 42 seconds of play that broke a 99-99 tie and sealed the Clippers' fate. Redick finished with 21 for Orlando, which shot 48.1 percent from the field (39-of-81). The stunning upset snapped the Clippers' 13-game win streak at home. Superstar Grant Hill made his season debut for the Clippers and played six minutes in the fourth quarter. The All-Star guard, however, wasn't a factor, scoring only two points and missing all three of his field goals. Blake Griffin paced the Clippers with 30 points and eight rebounds while Jamal Crawford, who missed a 3 that could have forced overtime, chipped in 13. Chris Paul added 10 points and a game-high 16 assists. The upset dropped the Clippers to 28-9, second overall to the 28-8 Oklahoma City Thunder for the best record in the NBA. The Magic improved to a modest 13-23. (RM) Photos by Jhay Otamias.
