Wednesday marked a special 19th anniversary for Milwaukee Bucks Head Coach Scott Skiles. On December 30, 1990 Skiles dished out a yet to be broken NBA record 30 assists for the Orlando Magic in a 155-116 victory over the Denver Nuggets. Coach Skiles almost celebrated the occasion last night with a victory in Orlando only to have his hopes dashed midway through the 3rd quarter when the Magic began their 13-0 run with the Bucks up 67-60.

The Orlando Magic could do no wrong last Christmas Day. They destroyed Chris Paul's New Orlean's Hornets 88-68 in a game that was over by the 1st quarter in what proved to be maybe the easiest Magic win of that '08-'09 season. Today on a warm, monsoon rain-heavy afternoon, the Boston Celtics came in and ruined Christmas for plenty of Magic fans, knocking down the home team to a 22-8 record after the 86-77 Celtic win.

For the first time since November 16th, Orlando Magic point guard Jameer Nelson was in the starting lineup Wednesday night to put up a solid 15 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists that helped offset Rocket leading scorer Aaron Brook's 17 points. The Magic went up 34-22 to start the game, but the 3rd quarter found Orlando only ahead 61-60 before Orlando put the game away going on a 15-0 run from the 8:04 mark of that third period to the 2:23 mark where Jameer put up eight of his points that he culminated with a slippery turnaround jumper.

The Orlando Magic improved to 19-6 Wednesday night after defeating the Toronto Raptors 118-99 at Amway Arena. This contest saw the return of Hedo Turkoglu who received a fair mix of boos and cheers from the Orlando faithful. It saw Dwight Howard put on a show on both ends of the court by tallying 18 points and 14 rebounds. D-Flight also swatted 8 of the team's 14 blocks total. Keep in mind, the Raptors didn't have one single block on the evening.
