Down by 11 going into the fourth, the Magic got a 3-pointer from Stevenson
and a jumper by Hedo Turkoglu to trail 70-64.
James Singleton scored on two straight dunks, pushing the Clippers' lead back

Los Angeles took a five-point lead into the second half and stretched it from
there. Chris Kaman's driving hook gave the Clippers a 10-point lead.
Later, when the Magic got within five, Cassell took over. He scored on
consecutive jumpers, then made a free throw before Mobley hit six straight from
the line for a 68-57 lead with less than a minute to go.
Orlando was held to two field goals over the final 3:43 of the third.
The Clippers opened the second quarter on a 19-4 run in which Mobley, Wilcox,
Kaman and Quinton Ross scored all their points to take a 36-32 lead. Orlando was
held to 12 points in the period after shooting 29 percent.
