Jameer Nelson and Hedo Turkoglu made sure there would be no letdown for the Orlando Magic. Turkoglu scored 11 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, Nelson returned with an injured toe to score 12 in the final frame, and the Magic slowly pulled away to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 118-94 on Saturday night.

“In order to be a great team, you can’t let up,” Howard said. “I like the way we came back. We held together and came out with a good win.”
Turkoglu had seven points, including a 3-pointer, and Nelson six during a 20-5 run that gave Orlando a 102-87 lead midway through the final quarter. Turkoglu later made a long jumper and Nelson sank a pair of 3-pointers for a 114-92 cushion. “(Turkoglu) should be in the 3-point contest,” Howard said. “He presents a lot problems for the defense. When he’s hot he’s tough to stop, especially late. Fourth quarter is ‘Hedo Time.”’



As great as Howard is, every time I have seen the Magic in person, Hedo has put on a show. He is vital part of this team's success...and vastly underrated. Nelson is okay, but you can't win a title with Nelson at QB.
