Glen Davis added 16 points and eight rebounds for Orlando, which has won two
straight games for the second time this season.
"We're just sticking with the program," Davis said. "We had a game plan and
it's to go out there and meet the intensity that they bring. They got some
offensive rebounds but at the same time we fought and stayed in the game and
ended up winning."
Dion Waiters made four 3-pointers en route to 25 points for the Cavaliers, who
have lost six straight on the road. Anderson Varejao tallied 19 points and 17

"They shot great and I feel like we played great defense," Waters said of the
Magic. "They just made tough shots and that is the moral to the story. We just
have to continue working on the defensive end."
