ORLANDO, Fla. Norm Snead Jersey . -- After giving up a 12-point halftime lead, the Orlando Magic recovered with enough baskets and key stops down the stretch to grind out a big win.Serge Ibaka scored 16 points and Nikola Vucevic broke out of his shooting slump with 10 points and 14 rebounds to help lift the Magic to an 89-82 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night.After Terrence Jones basket pulled New Orleans to 84-82, Vucevic made back-to-back shots in the waning moments for the win.We are going to keep fighting, keep trying to find a way, said Vucevic, who finished 10 points and 14 rebounds. Were not playing really good basketball right now, its not easy to get stuff going and get into the flow but we just have to find ways to get wins until we figure that out.At times in the second half it appeared the Magic were headed to a second straight defeat as their offense tanked and they couldnt get stops against Pelicans team that found out late that Anthony Davis wouldnt be available because of a thigh injury.Jones, who replaced Davis in the starting lineup, scored a game-high 26 points for the Pelicans.Jones had 12 points in the third quarter to help the Pelicans comeback from a 12-point first-half deficit to pull within one point late in the period. The Magic held on to a 65-63 lead at the end of the third.New Orleans completed its comeback with 9:23 in the game when Buddy Hield knocked down a baseline jumper to put his team up briefly 70-69. But Augustin and Rudez countered with a combined 10 points during a stretch to put the Magic back ahead, 79-73.The Magic shot just 39 percent from the field with all of the starters struggling to hit shots consistently. But without Davis in the lineup, the Pelicans offense was stagnant at times, too, and finished shooting 37 percent. Serge Ibaka and Evan Fournier led the way with 16 points each.We talked the whole night that nothing is easy in the NBA, Magic coach Frank Vogel said. Its just one of those things where one guy goes down and everybody else has an opportunity. You are going to work and earn everything.After a sluggish start, the Magic got going in the second quarter. They came up with stops and Ibaka and Fournier both hit big shots to build Orlandos lead to 15 before heading into halftime with a 52-40 advantage.Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry was pleased to see his team fight the way it did in Davis absence but he still felt they let a winnable game slip away.I thought our defense was fantastic, played the whole game, said Gentry, whose team slipped to 2-10. You just have to find a way offensively to get a few baskets.TIP-INSPelicans: Langston Galloway, a free agent signee last summer, followed up his breakout game against Boston on Monday with 15 points off the bench against the Magic. He scored 21 points against the Celtics. ... The Pelicans came in having lost two of three.Magic: Vucevic came in shooting 5 for 32 from field in the Magics last three games and had not attempted a free throw in any of the three games. ... Jeff Green has struggled since being inserted into the starting lineup for Aaron Gordon. Green went 0 for 9 from the field for zero points on Wednesday night.ANOTHER JONES DOUBLE-DOUBLE (ALMOST)After not getting 10 rebounds in any of his 50 games with Houston last season, Jones came one rebound short of his second straight double-double. Jones had 15 and 10 off the bench Monday in a win over Boston.COLD STARTSThe Magic came into the game as the NBAs lowest-scoring (92.6) and worst-shooting (.410) team, and missed their first five shots while the Pelicans were missing their first eight. Orlando shot .386 for the game to New Orleans .370.UP NEXTPelicans: Host Portland on Friday night.Magic: Host Dallas on Saturday night. The Magic have lost nine of the last 10 at home to the Mavericks. Garrison Hearst Jersey . The 17-year-old native of Marystown, N.L., pulled out of Skate Canada International last month in Saint John, N.B., with the same problem.

LOUIS -- St. AUSTIN, Texas -- Ferrari has been fined €5,000 by the FIA for releasing Kimi Raikkonens car from its final pit stop at the U.S. Grand Prix without all four wheels correctly fitted.Raikkonen was on an aggressive three-stop strategy in an attempt to maximise time on the super-soft tyres, but when he made his final pit stop he was released without the right rear wheel properly attached.It appeared as though Raikkonen was given the green light to leave the pit box while the right rear wheel gun was still attached and it was not until he was exiting the pits that he was told to stop. Raikkonen pulled to a halt just beyond the pit lane exit and was told to reverse his car back into the pit lane area to retire.I dont really know what happened, The 2007 world champion said. We obviously have to find out, the green light came on and, of course, once the green light came on I went. But wwhatever were the reasons, why did the light come on, why werent we ready, I dont know and we dont understand it yet. Kevan Barlow Jersey. .I noticed afterwards that there were some sparks coming out and I asked if it was all OK and was told it was something with the wheel gun, but if the wheel was still on when I stopped, it wasnt 100 percent how it should be, so we had to stop. Unfortunately there was no way to recover from that, but the reasons behind it, why the light went green, we have to investigate and understand, so hopefully we can change whatever needs to be changed for the future.The FIA takes loose wheel nuts very seriously due to the potential consequences and the fine was imposed because Raikkonens DNF meant a sporting penalty was not possible.
