--G Chris Duhon appears to be finally shaking out of a killer slump that plagued him through the first 15 games of the season. Duhon had 11 points and a season-high 9 assists with two turnovers against the Magic. More importantly is that he hit his first five shots of the game. Duhon had struggled mightily with his shooting in the first 15 games (28.1 percent) but in the last two games he is shooting 9-for-16.

--G Larry Hughes had 6 points and made just 1-of-9 from the field in the game. He is four points shy of the 10,000-point milestone in his NBA career.

--F Danilo Gallinari hit four three-pointers to add to his NBA-leading total of 48 for the season.

--F Al Harrington struggled with early foul trouble to finish with a very quiet 9 points a game after he had 41 points and 10 rebounds off the bench against the Nuggets.

MEDICAL WATCH:

--C Eddy Curry missed his third straight game with a knee injury. The swelling apparently hasn't subsided well enough and he remains day-to-day.
