Head coach Doc Rivers says that the Magic should retire Shaquille O'Neal's number when Shaq retires.

"He led this team to a championship series," Rivers said. "He put this team on the map."

Rivers pointed out that Milwaukee has retired Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's number, even though he played there only early in his career.

MANY CAMERAS ON MAGIC

ESPN had 23 cameras trained on the court for Wednesday night's game, including one embedded in the floor under the basket. A more typical national telecast would involve just 10-15 cameras, and a Sunshine Network telecast even fewer.

RECORD CROWD

The 17,283 was the largest in Magic history, a feat made possible by 35 handicapped seats added to TD Waterhouse Centre in the offseason. It was the first sellout of the year.

The Dec. 6 game with Washington and Michael Jordan is headed toward a sellout, too. Just 1,500 tickets remained as of Wednesday night.

HORACE BACK ON MONDAY?

Horace Grant could return to action as early as Monday night vs. the Celtics, head coach Doc Rivers said. Grant has not played since the season opener Oct. 29 due to a sore left knee.

FEEDING THE HOMELESS

Magic players and staff will serve breakfast this morning at the Coalition for the Homeless in downtown Orlando from 8 a.m.-10 a.m. Rivers, Grant Hill, Pat Burke, Ryan Humphrey and Dee Brown will be manning the serving spoons.
