ORLANDO, Fla. -- Jameer Nelson and the Orlando Magic proved they're still dangerous from long range if they need a big rally.

 

Nelson had 22 points, Arron Afflalo scored 19 and the Magic made 11 3-pointers in a 108-104 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night.

 

"It means a great deal to me to get this win," said Glen Davis, who had 16 points and eight rebounds. "We need to get as much games as possible and try to get back to .500 and compete for the chance to be somewhere in the postseason.

 

"And also for our confidence and our young guys to make sure that they can learn and understand what we have to do to take the win."

 

Davis had 10 points in Orlando's big fourth quarter. Nelson finished with six assists for the Magic (5-7), who have won two straight and continue their five-game homestand Sunday against Boston.

 

During the height of the Dwight Howard era, Orlando had a reputation for shooting lots of 3-pointers in some games. That changed following the arrival of new coach Jacque Vaughn's more motion-based system.

 

But for one night, at least, this new version of the Magic showed they still remember how to let the ball fly from deep. The 11 3s were a season high.

 

"You look down at the stat sheet and the minutes and there's numbers all over the place, guys contributing in a lot of different ways," Vaughn said. "Another example of how we can play as a team, band together, rebound together as much as we can, just getting it to the open guy [and] just keeping it simple."
