San Antonio's Tim Duncan had a night to forget as the Spurs slumped to a 110-84 loss to the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.

Duncan, a 12-times All Star and three-times NBA Finals MVP, finished with five points and was 1-for-10 from the field, the worst shooting performance of his career.

After the Charlotte Bobcats snapped Orlando's eight-game win streak on Sunday, the Magic responded with an impressive performance against the Spurs.

Orlando's Vince Carter had a game-high 24 points, with eight assists, and Rashard Lewis scored 20 as the Magic opened up a big lead in the third quarter and were able to rest their starters for much of the fourth.

The Magic (48-21) led by 10 at halftime and outscored San Antonio 28-16 in the third to put the game out of reach.

Richard Jefferson had 20 points for the Spurs (40-26), who entered the game having won eight of their last nine.
