Shorthanded Magic Stay Perfect
By David Baumann, Bright House Sports Network Anchor
No ‘Shard, no Vince, no Air France, no problem.
The Magic won yesterday 125-116 in Toronto against the Raptors. Rashard Lewis is 3 games into a 10-game suspension for violating the NBA's banned substance policy.
Vince Carter has a sprained ankle and did not play Sunday. Mickael Pietrus was sick with the flu and did not play yesterday in Toronto. Despite the loss of 3 starters, the Magic was still able to impose its will on the Raptors and stay perfect here in the regular season.
In Lewis' place, Ryan Anderson scored 20 points and hit five threes. In Carter's place, J.J. Redick scored a career-high 27 points and sank five threes. In Pietrus' place, Matt Barnes scored 12 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, had 6 steals and 4 assists.
Up next, Orlando will face Detroit in the Palace of Auburn Hills on Tuesday. Orlando will likely remain shorthanded since Pietrus was sent home with flu-like symptoms and Carter listed day-to-day with the bum ankle. If neither Carter nor Pietrus play, the Magic will only have 9 players in uniform.
