ORLANDO, Fla. -- In a season-long search for success, the Orlando Magic found a few things to celebrate in their victory over the short-handed Minnesota Timberwolves. Arron Afflalo broke out of a six-game shooting slump and Kyle OQuinn rebounded from a dreadful game the night before to help the Magic rally from a 13-point second-half deficit and defeat the Timberwolves 100-92 Saturday night. Afflalo, who hadnt scored in double figures his last three games and was 14 of 47 (29 per cent) from the field in his last five, hit 8 of 15 from the field and scored 18 points against Minnesota, which played without injured starters Kevin Love, Kevin Martin and Nikola Pekovic and lost replacement starter Chase Budinger in the first minute of the game with an ankle injury. OQuinn, who was just 5 of 20 and got exploited by Al Jefferson in a loss to Charlotte Friday night, came back with 14 points and 13 rebounds against the Timberwolves. Tobias Harris and Maurice Harkless added 17 points apiece for the Magic. Rookie Victor Oladipo contributed 16 points and six assists, plus good defence in the fourth quarter against Timberwolves playmaker Ricky Rubio to help Orlando end a three-game losing streak. Orlando shot 60.5 per cent in the second half and pounded the Timberwolves on the boards, 40-30. "There were a lot of good story lines from this game," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. "We got a lot of contributions all across the board. We had 29 assists, hit the open guy and trusted the consequences of whatever came from it." OQuinns performance was important because the Magic had their own injury problem with starting centre Nikola Vucevic missing a second straight game with a sore Achilles tendon. His replacement, Dewayne Dedmon, scored on his first shot of the game, but didnt make another shot and played only 14 minutes. That put the onus on OQuinn to control the inside and he responded with one of the best games of his career. "Last night was a rough night for me," OQuinn said. "There were points where I could have made a shot and turned things around, but we lost so I had to bounce back. You have to have a short memory, but we stuck together and got the result we wanted." Minnesota got 18 points and 10 assists from Rubio, but he couldnt find many familiar faces in the lineup with him when the game went down to the final four minutes with the Timberwolves trying to hold on to an 89-88 lead. Reserves were filling the roles usually played by Love, Martin and Pekovic. The result was an 0-for-6 stretch that allowed Orlando to go on a 10-1 run and put the game away. "Were playing combinations that havent played before and you get to the fourth quarter and things really start affecting you," Minnesota coach Rick Adelman said. "Guys played hard, but we just couldnt finish it." Dante Cunningham, who missed one game after being arrested for domestic assault, rejoined the Timberwolves and scored 12 points. "When you play with guys like Kevin Love or Kevin Martin, you know where they like to play," Rubio said. "When youre playing with new guys, you have to figure it out. We just ran out of energy. We have to fight through it." The Magic rallied from 12 points down with five minutes to go in the third quarter. The combination of sloppy ball handling by the Magic and Rubio having his way against a porous Magic defence allowed the Timberwolves to push a 48-46 halftime lead up to 13 points in the third quarter. When Rubio went to the bench, Minnesotas offensive rhythm went with him. Oladipo and Harris took advantage, helping the Magic close the gap to 77-72 by the end of the third quarter and open the final period with an 8-2 run. A steal and jam by Harris gave Orlando an 80-79 advantage with 8:38 left. Minnesota reclaimed the lead with another drive through the lane by Rubio giving the Timberwolves an 89-88 lead with 4:26 left in the game. Oladipo drilled another 3 to start Orlando on the clinching 10-1 run.

It must be the final two weeks of the NFL schedule.Indeed, and there are enough possibilities to choke a Bronco or Colt.Well do our best to clarify the picture, but as any pro football fan knows, the league would love for everyone to have a shot at the playoffs in mid-December. And a whole bunch of teams still do, 21 to be exact.Already in are AFC division winners Denver (West), New England (East) and Indianapolis (South). Arizona owns at least a wild-card spot in the NFC and will take the West title by beating Seattle on Sunday.Such a win also would ensure the Cardinals have the top record in the conference. Plus, remember this: The Super Bowl will be played at the Cardinals stadium.Of course, a win by the Seahawks would make them even more comfortable should they visit University of Phoenix Stadium again on Feb. 1Were not going into this game thinking were unfamiliar with it or its going to be something we dont know how to handle or whats up. We dont feel like that at all, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. That comes from years of experience and being through it, and a bunch of young guys now that theyre pretty well-experienced at the timing of these kinds of games.Week 16 began with a battle at the bottom, with a shot at the No. 1 overall draft choice in the mix. With that in mind, the Jaguars won by losing. They moved to 3-12 by beating Tennessee 21-13, dropping the Titans to 2-13.It was the final Thursday night game this season.Seattle (10-4) at Arizona (11-3)While Arizona is in, the defending Super Bowl champs, who are beginning to look like the 2013 version on defence, have several ways of earning a playoff berth Sunday. The easiest is by winning and having either the Eagles, Lions or Packers lose.Seattle protects the ball well with a league-low 12 giveaways, tied with New England. And the Seahawks have gotten healthier and stingier on defence in the past month, winning four straight while allowing a total of 27 points.The Cardinals are down to third-string quarterback Ryan Lindley, hardly the way anyone wants to approach the Seahawks.Well, anyone but Cardinals coach Bruce Arians.Hes a meticulous preparation guy, the coach said. The dynamics between us — Ive bounced things off him. I trust him as far as his mental makeup to the game.Indianapolis (10-4) at Dallas (10-4)Indy isnt likely to get a first-round playoff bye, but the Colts would like to cut down on the giveaways — 28, most in the AFC, including 14 lost fumbles — before heading into January.If were going to get to where we want to get to, take the next step in the playoffs, those type of things, weve still got some things obviously to clean up, coach Chuck Pagano said.The Cowboys would love to have the comfort zone, slight as it is, that Indy holds. Dallas takes the NFC East with a win and a Philadelphia loss, and gets at least a wild card by winning and seeing the Packers and Lions lose.Philadelphia (9-5) at Washington (3-11), SaturdayConsecutive defeats to Seattle and Dallas have put the Eagles in a precarious spot. They could win out and not advance at 11-5.For now, the Eagles must clean up their act when they have the ball.Its something that we need to continue to work on and we need to continue to fix, coach Chip Kelly said, because youre not going to win games when you turn the ball over that many times. Youre giving the other team an opportunity and youre also not giving yourself an opportunity.Denver (11-3) at Cincinnati (9-4-1)Cincinnati takes the AFC North with a victory and losses by Pittsburgh and Baltimore, making that midseason tie with Carolina helpful. A win even if the Steelers and Ravens do the same secures a wild-card spot for the Bengals.It wont be easy given the opponent and how much Denver is playing for. The Broncos must win out and see New England stumble, or else the top seed in the AFC belongs to the Patriots.Kansas City (8-6) at Pittsburgh (9-5)For all their ups and downs, the Steelers will make the post-season with a victory. Credit, for once, their offence more than their D: receiver Antonio Brown and running back LeVeon Bell will get strong All-Pro consideration.The Chiefs will forever rue their loss to Oakland if they fall short of the playoffs. They can take down the Steelers and Chargers and still not get in.ddddddddddddaltimore (9-5) at Houston (7-7)Previously unheralded running back Justin Forsett faces one of his former teams. Forsett was with Houston in 2012 and seldom was used. He now is fifth in the league with 1,128 yards rushing.Injury-ravaged Houston is down to either a third-string or lower quarterback now that Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ryan Mallett are on injured reserve. That doesnt bode well against a defence whose pass rush has come alive, particularly Terrell Suggs.Detroit (10-4) at Chicago (5-9)While many were looking at the Packers as a team to beat in the NFC, already handing them the North crown, the Lions have been in the background. Yet a Detroit win and Packers loss on Sunday would give the division to the Lions.Detroit has nine victories against teams with records at or below .500 this season, and the dysfunctional Bears certainly fit such a description.Green Bay (10-4) at Tampa Bay (2-12)The Packers need to start showing more on the road; unless they sweep this one and their home game with the Lions, they wont have home-field advantage in the NFC. They might not get it anyway.This one shouldnt be a problem given how poorly the Bucs have performed all season, and how banged-up they are. While the Packers think Super Bowl, the Bucs are thinking No. 1 overall draft pick.Atlanta (5-9) at New Orleans (6-8)Call this The Little One in the Big Easy.If either team wins its final two, it gets the division title — and a home playoff game. The Saints could save themselves, their fans and the NFL itself some embarrassment by doing that and winding up at 8-8. Even so, some team with a winning record will be left out in the NFC.Its a playoff-type mentality, Falcons QB Matt Ryan said.Cleveland (7-7) at Carolina (5-8-1)Johnny Football comes to hoops and NASCAR country, where he has to be better than he was in his starting debut, right?Johnny Manziel remains behind centre for the Browns, whose post-season hopes were smashed by the Bengals last week.If Carolina wins out and New Orleans loses one of its remaining two games, the Panthers take the division.San Diego (8-6) at San Francisco (7-7)The Chargers almost certainly must win out to get into the post-season, and they have won three straight from the Niners. San Francisco wont be in the playoffs, let along make another NFC title game after three straight trips under Jim Harbaugh.San Diego QB Philip Rivers is averaging 303.5 yards per game in two outings vs. the Niners with five TDs and no interceptions for a 130.1 rating.Buffalo (8-6) at Oakland (2-12)Even though ending their league-high 14-season playoff drought is unlikely, the Bills are formidable. Their defence is ranked fifth and has really come on in recent weeks. The pass rush, led by Mario Williams (13 sacks), has been fearsome.Oakland is in position to earn the top overall draft pick by losing out. But the Raiders have endangered that with wins in two of their past four games.New England (11-3) at New York Jets (3-11)The Patriots can secure AFC home-field advantage with a win and a Denver loss. Considering that New England is 7-0 at home, which would be huge.New York is playing out the string, but a win over its biggest rival might actually get owner Woody Johnson thinking about keeping Rex Ryan and bringing in some skilled players rather than canning the coach.Well, maybe not.Minnesota (6-8) at Miami (7-7)Miami hasnt officially been eliminated from the post-season chase, but its chances are virtually nonexistent. Beating the Vikings, who havent won in Miami since 1976, is a must.Minnesota has shown improvement in its first season under coach Mike Zimmer, particularly on defence, his specialty. Considering all the injuries and the Adrian Peterson case, getting to .500 would be a major achievement.New York Giants (5-9) at St. Louis (6-8)The only game other than Thursdays that has no post-season implications.Thanks to rookie Odell Beckham Jr.s receiving heroics — the guy is a highlight film all by himself — the Giants actually are entertaining, if disappointing. They have won two straight after seven consecutive flops.The Rams probably are the best NFL team with a losing record, whatever that is worth.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
