Real Deal

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Orlando quickly ended Charlotte's first postseason appearance a year ago. The Magic on Wednesday night helped make sure the Bobcats won't make a return trip this season.

 

Yet it sure was ugly, difficult and perhaps costly, too.

 

Gilbert Arenas scored 25 points, and the Magic overcame Quentin Richardson's ejection, Dwight Howard's 18th technical foul and a late fourth-quarter meltdown to beat Charlotte 111-102 in overtime and extinguish the Bobcats' flickering playoff hopes.

 

Jameer Nelson atoned for two turnovers in the closing seconds of regulation by hitting a jumper and banking in a 3-pointer in Orlando's 12-2 run to open the extra period to secure its fourth consecutive 50-win season.

 

"The guys wanted to get to 50," coach Stan Van Gundy said. "It was good to get. We still didn't play great, but we'll take it."
