FLAGRANT FALLOUT

Orlando Magic coach Doc Rivers was happy to have Tracy McGrady available Saturday night against the Golden State Warriors but couldn't believe New Jersey forward Kenyon Martin wasn't suspended for more than two games for his flagrant foul Friday night on McGrady.

"Kenyon Martin should have absolutely gotten more than two games," Rivers said. "That was a play that could have injured (McGrady). And maybe the intent was to injure. There's no way two games is enough with something like that."

Martin knocked McGrady to the floor with a forearm with 2:57 remaining in the Magic's 109-96 victory over the Nets. McGrady charged Martin but did not throw a punch, while Martin took a swing at McGrady.

McGrady was fined $5,000 by Stu Jackson, the NBA senior vice president of basketball operations, for retaliating. Nets general manager Rod Thorn, who was Jackson's predecessor, and coach Byron Scott wanted to have McGrady suspended for what they claimed was a head-butt.

"I'm almost laughing at Rod Thorn and Byron complaining about it," Rivers said. "I think we should hand out Oscars to them because they know they got off with a slap on the wrist."

Martin will to return from his suspension before the Nets visit the Magic next Saturday night.

SNAPPING A SLIDE

The Magic broke a streak of eight consecutive games of failing to crack 100 points when they defeated the Nets. They shot 52.5 percent from the floor, marking the first time they made at least half of their field-goal attempts since a 129-94 rout of the Atlanta Hawks on Dec. 7.

Five teams are averaging more than 100 points a game this season, but the Magic aren't among that group. They went into the game against the Warriors scoring an average of 99.9 points a game. Dallas leads the league at 103.1, followed by Sacramento (101.7), Minnesota (100.8), the Los Angeles Lakers (100.5) and San Antonio (100.4).

WINTERS WONDERLAND

The Warriors began the night with a 4-5 record since Brian Winters was named interim head coach Dec. 15. Winters replaced Dave Cowens, who was fired two days after the Magic took a 105-100 decision in Oakland.

Winters, 49, was the Vancouver Grizzlies' first head coach but lasted only two seasons there before former Magic coach Brian Hill took over for him.
