Orlando puts on Magic act, rallies past Heat

Jason Richardson scored 24 points, 11 of them to kickstart what became a wild 40-9 run, and the Orlando Magic rallied from 24 points down in the second half to stun the Miami Heat 99-96 on Thursday night.

Senh: Until Miami figures out that the Miami Heat is Dwyane Wade's team, they'll never reach their full potential. Lebron James has never shown that he could be the man during clutch situations. Yeah, everyone points to the Detroit series, but that was it. Dwyane Wade has a killer instinct, but he's got to have the ball in the hands when the game counts.

Howard, Magic ride second-half surge past Knicks

Dwight Howard had 30 points and 16 rebounds, Jameer Nelson scored 23 of his 26 points in the second half, and the Orlando Magic outlasted the New York Knicks 116-110 on Tuesday night.

Senh: Miami still has trouble beating the elite teams.

Celtics, Thunder combine on four-player deal

What has turned out to be a surprisingly busy trade deadline period in the NBA closed with a flurry of activity, including a stunner that has Boston sending center Kendrick Perkins and guard Nate Robinson to Oklahoma City in exchange for forward Jeff Green and center Nenad Krstic.

Senh: Will the O'Neals be healthy enough for the playoffs? With all this talk from Doc Rivers saying how no team has ever won a playoff series against his starting five, I didn't expect them to trade Perkins away. He's only 26, so even if he's not healthy enough for this season, he still has a lot of good years left.

Knicks to Acquire Carmelo Anthony

The blockbuster deal, which cannot become official until the teams hold a conference call with league officials Tuesday, brings one of the N.B.A.’s brightest stars to New York.

Senh: This automatically makes the New York Knicks a contender. Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups. Add current Knicks superstar Amare Stoudamire, and you have another big three in the East, which just got even more interesting.
