The Magic, league leaders in 3-pointers made with 284, hit 14 of 22 and also made 19 of 22 free throws. . . . C Dwight Howard was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week (Jan. 5-11). He led Orlando to a 4-0 week and posted a double-double in all games. . . . SG J.J. Redick has connected on 15 of his last 24 3-point attempts.
* Kings UPDATE: Sacramento, steaming toward a shot at the top lottery pick, ended its five-game losing streak with a big home win Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks , 102-95. G Kevin Martin had 21 points. . . . The Kings fired coach Reggie Theus, a former Magic player, in mid-December during a stretch in which they lost 13 of 15 games. . . . Interim coach Kenny Natt hasn't fared much better, having lost 11 of 12 before Sunday's upset of the Mavs.
* KEY MATCHUP: This is the definition of a "trap game" for the Magic, who will have to guard against an emotional letdown. The Magic must get ahead early, and controlling Martin will be Job 1 for rookie G Courtney Lee.
