    Young Dwight Howard dunked and stared down decorated veteran Kevin Garnett.

    Shooting specialist Hedo Turkoglu stole the ball and threw a nifty behind-the-back pass.

    A rebuilt Grant Hill rose for a (circa 1997) slam-dunk.

    Who are these guys, anyway? And where were they in November?

    Looking like a totally different team this past week, the Orlando Magic started fast and finished strong in thumping the Minnesota Timberwolves 107-87 Friday night at TD Waterhouse Centre.

    The Magic (12-15) salvaged their six-game homestand after an 0-3 start with a three-game winning streak -- and a noticeable swagger.

    They also might have salvaged their season. It looked bleak after a four-game losing streak just before Christmas.

    "Sometimes, the light goes on a little bit later," Magic Coach Brian Hill said.

    It might not be shining so bright after they play 22 of their next 33 games on the road, including seven of their next eight.

    But heading into Tuesday's game in Auburn Hills, Mich., against the NBA-best Detroit Pistons, the Magic are a team sharing the ball and the glory.

    They've found a measure of consistency in quality victories over Milwaukee and Minnesota and in a business-like throttling of the New York Knicks.</div>

    Didn't they say that after we barely lost to the Mavs in Dallas and then we lose 3 straight home games? We play @ Detroit, so not likely for us to win that game.

    With the pinstripes anything is possible my friend. Don't underestimate the power of the throwbacks. [​IMG]

    Not only is the Magic's swagger back, Best Kept Secret is back! It's good to see you posting in these parts again Mr. BKS. [​IMG]

    Are we going to wear the pinstripes on the road too or just for home games?
