Kenyon Martin is developing a reputation as a dirty player, and his latest transgression -- a flagrant foul against Tracy McGrady -- might lead to his second suspension in less than three weeks.

Martin caused a fracas at the end of Orlando's 109-96 win against New Jersey by knocking McGrady to the floor with a forearm on a layup attempt with 2 minutes, 57 seconds remaining to play.

McGrady, who scored 35 points, got up quickly and bumped and shoved Martin. The Nets power forward, who picked up his sixth foul on the play, threw a jab before officials and teammates separated the two.

"Kenyon is not a dirty player but that was a dirty play," Magic coach Doc Rivers said. "We can't have that in our league."

McGrady was so livid, assistant coach Johnny Davis wrapped his arms around him until the two reached the other end of the floor.

After the officials conferred, Martin was assessed a flagrant foul (category 2) and ejected. McGrady got a technical foul and also was tossed. Orlando outscored the Nets 11-4 the rest of the way.

McGrady, who hit 11 of 25 shots and 12 of 16 free throws, left the building immediately after the game and was not available for comment.

"It was a hard foul," said Martin, who guarded McGrady most of the night. "That's all it was, a hard foul. It's over."

Martin refused to comment on a possible suspension. Holding his child after the game, the top pick in the 2000 draft also yelled at a television cameraman to stop taking his picture.

He was suspended last month for one game for a flagrant foul against Karl Malone of Utah on Dec. 22.

"We've been through this once before, but we understand what we have to do," said Jason Kidd, who led the Nets with 24 points. "Yes, we'll miss him, but when one of your stars goes down you have to keep playing."

After order was restored, Kidd missed the free throw and Darrell Armstrong made one of two to push the Orlando lead to 99-92. Pat Garrity hit a jumper off the ensuing inbounds play and Troy Hudson added a 3-pointer to push the lead to 104-92.

"I don't know if he wanted to make a statement, that he was tired of getting scored on," Garrity said of Martin. "Now we'll have to move on and see what happens when they come to our building."

The teams play again a week from Saturday.

Mike Miller added 18 points for Orlando, which hit 42 of 80 shots from the field. Hudson and Garrity, who combined with McGrady on a 17-2 run at the end of the third quarter that gave Orlando the lead for good, added 14 apiece.

Kidd led the Nets with 24 points. Todd MacCullouch added 16 and Kerry Kittles and Lucious Harris had 14 apiece.

Orlando's 17-2 spurt that gave it an 82-72 lead.

McGrady ignited the run with a drive and a long 3-pointer that tied the game at 70 with 1:46 left in the quarter.

Garrity scored Orlando's next seven points, hitting a jumper, a 3-pointer and tipping in a rebound for a 77-72 lead.

New Jersey got within 88-84 midway through the fourth quarter, but McGrady converted a three-point play to ignite a 7-2 spurt.
