ATLANTA -- Orlando coach Jacque Vaughn challenged his players at halftime to tighten up defensively and force the Atlanta Hawks to take bad shots. cheap jerseys from china . Arron Afflalo was pleased that everyone did as they were told. "We got some fast-break layups and made some shots, but defence was the key," Afflalo said. "It got us into a more free-flowing game, which helped us out." Afflalo scored 26 points, Victor Oladipo and Andrew Nicholson added 18 apiece and the Magic snapped a 17-game road losing streak with a 109-92 victory over Atlanta on Tuesday night. Al Horford and Jeff Teague each finished with 15 points for the Hawks, who lost consecutive games for the first time this season. "We had some careless turnovers, and I think that impacted the game in the third quarter," Horford said. "After that, you have to give them credit. They made shots. A lot of them were tough shots, but they made them. They made a run, and we really couldnt recover after that." The Magic began the night having lost four straight overall and five in a row on the road. They won away from Orlando for the first time since last March 4 at New Orleans. Vaughn had planned to start Tobias Harris for the first time this season, but the third-year forward was unable to dress because of recurring issues with his left ankle. Instead, Vaughn went with the lineup of Afflalo, OIadipo, Glen Davis, Nikola Vucevic and Jameer Nelson. Vucevic grabbed 15 rebounds, Nelson added 10 assists, and the Magic got a combined 30 points from Nicholson and ETwaun Moore off the bench. The Hawks never led after Afflalos 3-pointer put the Magic ahead 67-65 with 5:09 left in the third. From there, Orlando went on a 29-9 run. Afflalos 3 started the rally and Oladipos straightaway 3 ended it with 7:12 left in the game. "We came into halftime in decent shape, but we made some shots in the second half which helped us," Vaughn said. "Defensively, we were really aggressive to the basketball. We were locating shooters and we were in the right place. It was fun to see." Orlando snapped a seven-game skid at Philips Arena, winning in Atlanta for the first time since Nov. 26, 2009. The Magic had lost 11 straight in the regular season to their Southeast Divisional rivals. Hawks guard Kyle Korver hit a 3 in his 88th straight game and needs one to tie Dana Barros for the NBAs longest streak. Barros set the mark from Dec. 23, 1994-Jan. 10, 1996, with Philadelphia and Boston. Korver missed his first two 3-point attempts before giving the Hawks a 43-39 lead with 4:06 left in the second. The starting backcourt of Teague and Korver went 1 for 8 from the field in the second half. Vaughn credited Nelson, the Magics longtime point guard, with setting the tone on both ends of the floor. "He hit a 3 from the right side that got him going offensively and then he was able to get downhill and get into the lane and find some shooters," Vaughn said. "He chased Korver tonight and did an excellent job defensively." The Hawks shot 32.4 per cent in the second half while Orlando was shooting 58.1 per cent. "I was coming up short every time," said Teague, who had 19 points and 13 assists in Atlantas home win over the Magic earlier this month. "I was on a fast break one-on-one with Jameer Nelson, and it just comes up short. Its just how it fell for me tonight. No excuse. They played well." NOTES: Harris has missed 12 of 13 games this season with a left ankle sprain. He returned in Sundays home loss to Phoenix, scoring six points in 16 minutes. ... Hawks G Shelvin Mack sprained his left ankle in the second quarter and did not return. Mack had six points in 8 minutes. ... Magic F Maurice Harkless, coming off the bench for the first time this season, finished with three points in 11 minutes. ... Davis took Harkless spot in the starting lineup, finishing with eight points and eight boards. ... Atlanta rookie G Dennis Schroder, the 17th overall draft pick, entered the game late in the fourth. Playing for the first time in four games, Schroder had four points in 5 minutes. wholesale nfl jerseys .

Williams struggled to beat Japanese veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm in the second round, rallying from a set down and finally prevailing in an 8-6 third set, but she had no such troubles Friday in a 6-0, 6-2 rout of Spains Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez. It took Williams nearly three hours to advance past the 40-year-old Date-Krumm two days ago, but the American star was on the court for just 62 minutes Friday. She blitzed through the first set in 27 minutes and kept the throttle down in the second. Now, a chance for revenge. Williams was eliminated last year in the quarterfinals by Tsvetana Pironkova and the two will meet again in the fourth round after the Bulgarian knocked out the second-seeded Zvonareva with a relatively easy, 6-2, 6-3 decision. Also in third-round play Friday, eighth-seeded Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic cruised to a 6-3, 6-3 win over Italys Roberta Vinci and will next play 19th-seeded Belgian Yanina Wickmayer, who took out two-time Grand Slam champ Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 win. Kvitova was a semifinalist last year at the All England Club, while Wickmayer had never been past the third round in her three previous visits. Kuznetsova, meanwhile, has won the French and U.S. Opens, but has never been further than the quarterfinals in nine tries on the famed grass courts. Another minor upset saw Russias Ksenia Pervak eliminate 11th-seeded German Andrea Petkovic, 6-4, 7-6 (7-2). Pervak will next face the winner between sixth-seeded Italian Francesca Schiavone and Austrias Tamira Paszek. Unseeded Russian Nadia Petrova, a two-time Wimbledon quarterfinalist, also advanced to the round of 16 with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Kateryna Bondarenko of the Ukraine and will square off against the winner between fourth-seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus and Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova. cheap nfl jerseys. Second-round play also wrapped up earlier Friday with four matches pushed back from Thursday, and winners included top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki and former champion Maria Sharapova. Wozniacki needed just 66 minutes to dispose of French veteran Virginie Razzano with a 6-1, 6-3 rout, while the fifth-seeded Sharapova battled through a tough first set against British teenager Laura Robson before posting a 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 triumph. In the two other second-round matches Friday, 2007 Wimbledon runner-up Marion Bartoli of France rallied for a 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 win over Spains Lourdes Dominguez Lino and Chinas Peng Shuai also came back from a set down to earn a 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 victory over Britains Elena Baltacha. Sharapova, the 2004 Wimbledon champ and among the favorites to win this years title, dropped the first three games of her match on Court 1 Friday. After quickly battling back, the set went to a tiebreaker and Robson opened a 4-2 lead at the changeover. The Russian star then won the final five points to secure the opening set. Robson was unable to hold in her first three service games of the second set and fell behind 5-1, but managed to win the next two games and had a break point in the ninth with a chance to get back on serve. However, Sharapova saved it with a forehand winner and won the next two points to finally finish it out. Next up for Sharapova will be a third-round match Saturday against Klara Zakopalova of the Czech Republic, while Wozniacki will continue her quest for a first career Grand Slam crown against Australias Jarmila Gajdosova. The ninth-seeded Bartoli will square off against Italys Flavia Pennetta. Four-time champion Serena Williams is also scheduled for play Saturday in the third round.
