SAN ANTONIO -- All of Orlandos early season struggles were forgotten in one charmed night.Serge Ibaka had 18 points and the Magic took advantage of a sloppy game by San Antonio, winning 95-83 on Tuesday to snap the Spurs nine-game winning streak.We scratched and clawed, thats what we needed to do, Orlando coach Frank Vogel said. Were a desperate team. We needed a win and we needed to play with that kind of desperation.San Antonio committed a season-high 19 turnovers in its worst scoring performance of the season. The Spurs have four home losses in the first two months of this season after falling just once at AT&T Center in 2015-16.They played very well, San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. I thought their defense was really solid, and I thought it put us on our heels most of the game.Orlando entered having lost eight of 11, but they were looser and more fluid than San Antonio from the start.The Magics Aaron Gordon and Bismack Biyombo even fell to the court laughing after colliding while simultaneously attempting and failing to throw down a dunk off an alley-oop pass from D.J. Augustin in the third quarter.It was one of the few missteps in Orlandos first victory in 11 games against San Antonio.Frank is a great coach, hes a very positive guy and believes in us wholeheartedly, Gordon said. When you have that backing, you feel that you are capable. Tonight, we came out and we put the pieces together for a full game and its a beautiful thing.The Magic shot 45 percent from the field and were 6 for 15 on 3-pointers in snapping a four-game skid.Evan Fournier scored 13 points and Nikola Vucevic had 12, but it was on the defensive end that Orlando shined.San Antonio backed up a lethargic first half with an even more anemic third quarter. The Spurs shot 6 for 19 in the third, turning the ball over four times while being outscored 30-21.The ball is not moving, San Antonio guard Manu Ginobili said. Were forcing the issue too much. Were kind of stuck. So, hopefully we get the ball moving better and sharper.The Spurs turnovers resulted in 19 points for the Magic.We were denying, Gordon said. We were taking the Spurs out of their rhythm offensively and making them look for second and third and fourth options. When you do that the whole night, that wears on a team.San Antonios backcourt of Tony Parker and Danny Green combined to shoot 1 for 10 with five turnovers and four points.Kawhi Leonard had 21 points to lead the Spurs and LaMarcus Aldridge added 16.After going with its twin towers of Aldridge and Pau Gasol to start the game, San Antonio went with a smaller lineup in the second half. Neither option worked well.We had to win both halves two very different ways, Voegel said. They went big in the first half and we had to match their bigs and keep them off the glass and then they went small in the second half and then with an ultra-small lineup with four guards and a big and Serge has that versatility to still guard perimeter players while we stayed with who we are.Ibaka finished with seven rebounds and a blocked shot.TIP-INSMagic: The Magics last victory against the Spurs was Dec. 23, 2010, when they upended San Antonio 123-101 in Orlando. ...

Gasol has played in 1,073 career games, moving past Hall of Famer Michael Jordan for 79th on the career list.ROAD WARRIORSWhile San Antonio has lost four games at home, they have yet to lose on the road this season, which puzzles the Spurs.It is hard to explain, even for us players who are on the floor competing, Gasol said. It is not like we are trying to lose games at home and go on the road and get all of them.San Antonio can become the third team in league history to open a season with 11 straight road wins with a victory Wednesday at Dallas.The Spurs have won 10 straight road games, matching the start by the Boston Celtics in 1961 and 1962.

Fake Jordan 1 Off White . 8 Kansas to a 64-63 win over Texas Tech on Tuesday night. The freshman from Vaughan, Ont.UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez doesnt know what the promotion has in mind for his first title defense.But as far as hes concerned, theres no reason to even discuss potential options until Aug. 20 -- when Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz are scheduled to fight at UFC 202.Its a wait-and-see type thing right now, Alvarez told ESPN.com. Lets wait and see what August 20th brings and then lets make a big fight after that.The UFC recently booked a November clash between highly ranked contenders Rafael dos Anjos and Tony Ferguson. Once that fight was made, many assumed Alvarez (28-4) would draw undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov (23-0), who is ranked right behind him at 155 pounds.Alvarez (28-4), who knocked out dos Anjos in the first round to claim the 155-pound title last month, isnt making any such assumptions. His sights are set on the winner of the nontitle welterweight fight between McGregor and Diaz.Alvarez, 32, says he has little interest in Nurmagomedov, who, despite a perfect record, has just one win in the last two years due to injury. That victory came against UFC newcomer Darrell Horcher in April.Im not sure what the promotions take is, but thats where I stand, Alvarez said. Those are the guys I want to get my hands on. Ive said it from the very beginning: Fighting the best guys in the world doesnt pay as good as the circus. I want to join the circus. Im trying to get that circus money.As far as Nurmagomedov, I just dont get how you become the No. 1 contender without actually fighting guys who are ranked in the top 10. It kind of baffles me. The lightweight division right now is a bunch of guys who fight opponents ranked in the top 30 and never actually take a risk and fight a top-5 guy. I can walk into a restaurant and knock five guys out, become 5-0 real quick. Its about the quality of opponent. You have to beat the right guys to call yourself the No. 1 conntender.ddddddddddddAlvarez says he wouldnt be so adamant about a McGregor fight if it werent for hearing the Irish fighters name over and over again in recent years. After Alvarezs wins against Gilbert Melendez and Anthony Pettis, he says the name that continued to come up was always McGregors.Even after he defeated dos Anjos for the title, Alvarez says he frequently fielded questions about McGregor.Itd be nice to stop being asked about it, Alvarez said. Its a little bit annoying, you know? I dont look at him the same way I look at and respect a Rafael dos Anjos -- or any of the top guys who fight the real fighters.Diaz, too, though. I was on the assumption I was cool with Nick and Nate Diaz, but there was a switch flipped when I fought Nates teammate, Gilbert Melendez, in Mexico last year. I was getting all this mean mugging. I guess he was angry because I was fighting his friend, as if I gave a s--- or really didnt like his friend. I was there for a check.I tried to get that through to him but he didnt want to hear it. He was very bitter when I won that fight. It is what it is. I still think those guys are good guys, they just are who they are.A native of Philadelphia, Alvarez says he hasnt signed a new contract since winning the UFC title, but expects that to happen shortly. While official plans for his first title defense are up in the air, Alvarez says he is optimistic he could fight in his hometown next year.Well do [a contract extension] very soon, Alvarez said. Im not sure how it will work with the recent sale of the UFC, but Ill have a talk with my manager and whoever takes care of that stuff.I think 2017 is going to be a big year for Philadelphia. Im looking to grab the UFC and pull them back in the direction of Philadelphia. ' ' '
