Spurs skid, suffer 2nd straight loss @ Magic, 100-104.

Patty Mills lit up the second quarter for the Spurs, finishing with 26 points, despite going 3-12 from deep territory, but it was Iman Shumpert's 3PTer that brought the Spurs back within three points. The Spurs would force a tough miss by the Magic, but Brandon Ingram's game-tying long ball rattled out of the rim, sealing the loss.

Mills surged the Spurs past a stutter in the second quarter, edging the halftime hole to 53-56 after Orlando went up by nearly 12. The Magic had 27 assists overall, led by Mo Bamba's 17 points and 10 rebounds. Markelle Fultz surprised with 15 points. Aaron Gordon had a sound, if slightly quiet 14 points with 7 rebounds. Nikola Vucevic had 14 points and 8 rebounds. Jonathan Isaac soared to the rim with 12 points.

For the Magic, their youthful athleticism was exactly just too much for the visiting champions, with the Magic dropping the Spurs twice this year, winning the season series and having been the first team to stun the champs at home earlier this season.

T.J. Warren (14 pointshad flashes of a nice game, finishing with double-digits, but fouling out early in the fourth quarter in a frustrating outing for the newly acquired slasher. Avery Bradley's night was also spoiled after a nice early start to the game, with San Antonio sneaking back the lead in the third quarter and very early on in the final period. He had 18 points on the night with two steals. The Spurs won the first quarter 26-25, the second was won by Orlando 31-27, with the third quarter a stalemate of 22 and Orlando with the pivotal advantage of 26-25 to preserve the victory. Brandon Ingram notched 19 points with 4 steals and 2 blocks. The pieces just didn't gel tonight, overall.
