Nelson lifts Magic over Bobcats 92-83

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Magic coach Jacque Vaughn had been eagerly awaiting the return of Nikola Vucevic to his starting lineup.

The 7-foot center showed why Wednesday night.

Vucevic had a double-double in the first half after missing the last four games with a sprained left ankle, Jameer Nelson had 12 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter and the Orlando Magic snapped a six-game losing streak with a 92-83 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats.
