Magic begin tough four game road trip tonight at San Antonio

The Magic's tough January schedule continues as they travel to San Antonio to take on the Spurs Sunday evening at 8:30 in a game that will be televised by NBA TV. This is the Magic's first game of their four game road trip.

The Spurs (24-11) are playing at their usual high level after a 2-5 start. They have won 9 of their last 10 games, and are coming off a 106-84 win against the LA Clippers on Thursday.

The Magic (29-8) are now in second place in the East by a half game over Boston. The Celtics play at Toronto Sunday.

The Magic have had a tough go of it in San Antonio, losing 16 of their last 18 games played there; the Spurs are favored by 3 points tonight.

    Orlando is the better team but SA is the more experienced team,will youth or experience prevail is the question? It all starts with stops for us,if we get stops we'll be able to rebound and run against a small spurs team. When they post timmy dwight needs to get up into him and make him take tough shots all night,even if he fouls him some making it hard for timmy is the key. Jameer and hedo need to be aggressive from the start putting the pressure on them to have to defend us.

    I really like the comment Jameer Nelson made on the game preview:

    "We have a good team, but we know we have to get better. We aren't the best team we could be. We can still get better."
