 MIAMI (AP) - Shaquille O'Neal summed up the Miami Heat's night in five quiet words. "Just one of those days," he said. There really was no other explanation, other than the Orlando Magic playing perhaps one of their most inspired games in weeks.
Hedo Turkoglu scored 11 of his 20 points in the first quarter, Dwight Howard added 17 points and 11 rebounds, and the Magic ended Miami's nine-game winning streak with a 97-83 victory Sunday night. It snapped the Heat's run of 14 straight home victories, and got Orlando within a half-game of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
"A statement game," Magic guard J.J. Redick called it. "We pretty much beat them from start to finish."
