ORLANDO, Fla. - The countdown to the NBA regular season is now in its final stages for the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic. Though its clear after their final pre-season matchup Wednesday night that both teams could use a few extra days to prepare for their Christmas Day openers. The Magic showed some late-game toughness to secure a 104-100 victory on Wednesday night, but needed a furious comeback to erase a 14-point halftime deficit. The Heat played well early before slowing in a forgettable second half. "I dont think it was that we didnt show life (early), we didnt make shots," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. "...I thought we had good life in the second half." Glen Davis, who had 13 points in the third quarter to ignite the comeback, finished with 18 points, and Dwight Howard and Jason Richardson each added 15 for the Magic. "It felt good," Davis said. "This is my new home, to come here and kind of show everybody what I can do -- because theres a question mark." Orlando also got a late lift from its reserves to secure the win, including strong fourth-quarter efforts by veteran Larry Hughes and rookie Justin Harper. LeBron James had 27 points and Dwyane Wade added 21 for the Heat. Reserve Norris Cole chipped in 11 points. Both teams open the regular season as part of the NBAs five-game Christmas Day schedule. Miami travels to defending champion Dallas for a finals rematch and Oklahoma City hosts the Magic. "Its upon us," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We have about three days to get ready ... Now its all about getting healthy and ready for Sunday." The Magic played without Hedo Turkoglu, who sat with a bruised left hip. The Heat also were tender, with Mike Miller (hernia), Shane Battier (quadriceps), Eddy Curry (hip) and Eddie House (knee) all resting. Whether it was just the injury bug or something else, the rust definitely showed for both sides early on. James badly missed on a pair of free throws in the opening minutes, including an air ball on one attempt. Both James and his teammates were able to settle down, however, with James and Wade each scoring to push the lead to as many as 23 en route to the halftime advantage. Orlando missed its first 12 shots from the field overall and its first 13 three-point attempts. The Magic regrouped to make 8 of its final 14 shots from beyond the arc. The matchup of division rivals did have a small dustup late in the third quarter when Richardson was called for a technical after he was caught delivering a shoulder into James chest. The contact came after the pair collided while running down the court. cheap nfl jerseys . "Theres no reason to think that I wont play on Sunday," Vick said. "Ive had two good days of practice. Im optimistic Ill be able to go out there and very excited to play." Eagles coach Andy Reid said that barring a setback, Vick will start against the team that has lost to Philadelphia six straight times. cheap jerseys . -- Sitting on the bench and clinging to a one-goal lead in the third period, the Phoenix Coyotes repeated the same line to each other: "Lets go forward. http://www.cheapchinajerseynfl.us.com/ . - A well-known member of the Canadian Football League Hall of Fame will speak out against racism later this month in a southern Manitoba town thats trying to shed any image that its racist. cheap jerseys from china .

Two wins on the other hand, and first place in the division was within their reach. Back-to-back wins and the Caps are five points back of the Jets. The effort by the Jets was far better than what it was Thursday, but the result was the same.BOSTON -- With both Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook sitting out for the first time since the franchise set up shop in Oklahoma City, the Thunder needed about a half to figure things out. And then the Western Conference leaders put the lottery-bound Boston Celtics away. "We take pride in playing hard no matter whos on the floor," coach Scott Brooks said after his team went on a 17-2 third-quarter run to beat Boston 101-83 on Friday night. "Obviously, were a better team with Kevin and Russell. But it doesnt make us not a team." Durant, the NBA scoring leader, missed his first game of the season, joining fellow All-Star Westbrook on the bench. That was only a minor setback, with Serge Ibaka scoring nine of his 21 points and adding five rebounds in the pivotal third quarter to lead Oklahoma City to its sixth straight victory. Jeremy Lamb came off the bench to score 19 points, and Reggie Jackson had 14 points and eight assists. "Everybodys just got to do their job a little bit better and a little bit harder," said Thunder centre Kendrick Perkins, a former Celtic, who had nine rebounds. "Its our first time playing without both of them, so it was good." Durant was the franchises first pick in 2007, its final year as the Seattle SuperSonics, and Westbrook was their first-round pick after the team moved to Oklahoma City for the following season. Together, they led the Thunder to the 2012 NBA Finals and were poised for another deep run last year before Westbrook was injured in the first round series against Houston. Oklahoma City has managed to stay atop the West with Westbrook out since Christmas to recover from right knee surgery. And Durant has been the reason, going on a scoring tear with at least 30 points in nine consecutive games before sitting out Friday night. But Durrant watched this one from the bench in warmups, then was icing his right shoulder in the locker room after the game, joking around with Westbrook.dddddddddddd "Theyre a good team without him -- as you can see," Celtics guard Phil Pressey said. Brooks said he did not know if his star would return on Saturday night against Philadelphia. "Well see how he wakes up," the coach said. Jeff Green scored 16 points and Gerald Wallace scored 12 of his 13 points in the first half, before the Thunder pulled away with a 17-2 run in the third quarter. Rajon Rondo had eight assists and five points in his fifth game since returning from reconstructive knee surgery. The Celtics have lost 13 of 15 games. "Theyre down Kevin Durant, and I think their team is thinking OK, this is an opportunity for a lot of guys that dont play as much when hes playing minutes," Celtics centre Kris Humphries said. "Something happened. You guys all saw the game. It wasnt great. Thanks for staying for the whole game." The Thunder allowed the Celtics to open a five-point lead early in the second quarter but then scored 18 of the next 22 points to take a nine-point lead. It was a two-point game after Boston scored the first basket of the second half, but Oklahoma City opened a 60-53 lead and then scored 17 of the next 19 points. In all, Oklahoma City outscored the Celtics 27-13 in the third. Notes: Rondo became the sixth player in Celtics history to reach the 4,000-assist plateau. Bill Russell is next, with 4,100. ... The Thunder have the best record in Western Conference and are 6-0 on the road against Eastern Conference teams. They will try to remain perfect Saturday at Philadelphia...
