Black- and Whitelist » Second rower Nick Gregson keeps

ORLANDO, Fla. - Last week, the Orlando Magic left the Boston Celtics home court having just received one of their most demoralizing losses of the season.The Magic returned the favour, but the Celtics made them work for it.Tobias Harris scored 19 points and the Magic hung on to beat the Celtics 100-95 on Tuesday night. Nik Vucevic and Kyle OQuinn each added 18 points as Orlando ended a four-game losing streak.Orlando looked to be in control in the second half and led by as many as 27 points. But that advantage was trimmed all the way down to three points in the closing minutes. The Magic were outscored 35-15 in the fourth quarter, but never trailed.We just got away from what we were doing throughout the whole game, and they capitalized off that, Harris said. But we got it together toward the end of the game and came out with the victory.Tyler Zeller led the Celtics with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Avery Bradley added 20 points, and Kelly Olynyk 14.Boston looked sluggish offensively for most of the night, connecting on just 38 per cent of its field goal attempts.Orlando was up 25 entering the final period, but fell apart in the closing minutes, relying on outside shots and turning the ball over five times.The Celtics, who couldnt find the basket in the first half, scored from all over the court in the final 12 minutes.Olynyks 3-pointer got Boston within 90-87 with just 2:34 to play, but the Magic were able to cobble together enough free throws in the final 2 minutes to preserve the win.Obviously in the fourth quarter they got on their heels a little bit, but its a lot easier to be a team coming back than the team with the lead, Celtics coach Brad Stevens said.The Magic were the beneficiaries of an inept first-quarter shooting performance by the Celtics. Boston connected on only one of its first 17 field goal attempts in period, and finished the quarter 2 for 22.Well continue to improve, Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. What I do love about this group is we lost multiple games in a row and we kept a team to 30 points in the first half. So while you can definitely look at some negative, well pull some positive out of this also.___TIP-INSCeltics: The Celtics set new season lows for points in a quarter (9), and points in a half (30) on Tuesday night.Magic: Reserve G Willie Green, who was inactive Sunday against the 76ers with flu-like symptoms, was activated Tuesday night.NELSONS RETURNCeltics G Jameer Nelson received a noticeable ovation from Magic fans when he was introduced in the pregame.

The 25-year-old Mellor has been in sensational form along with his half-back partner Kevin Brown as the Vikings have equalled their best ever start to a Super League campaign.In the bottom four at the end of 2015 and tipped for another battle against relegation, the Vikings have silenced their critics by winning five of their opening six matches and boast the best attack in Super League as well as the leading try-scorer in Corey Thompson. But Mellor knows they face an acid test of their title aspirations against the Warriors, who are one of only two clubs with 100 per cent records so far this year and, fresh from a demolition of defending champions Leeds, have the chance to take over top spot.I think a lot of people are surprised because of the way we performed last year and where we ended up in the league, but we had a really good pre-season and obviously took that into the season, said Mellor.Nobody is getting carried away because we know it could change, were just looking to turn up each week and perform the best we can. Barrie McDermott says hes been impressed with the Vikings performances this season Warrington-born Mellor, one of 16 Wigan academy products in the two squads for Thursdays game at the DW Stadium, is playing the best rugby of his career since joining Widnes.He made two Super League appearances for the Warriors in 2012 before being sidelined for nine months with a knee injury and went on to rebuild his career under Denis Betts, another former Wigan player.Im not bitter about anything, he said. Wigan have got a really good youth set-up and I enjoyed my time there and learned a lot.Denis gave me my opportunity and [Stefan] Marsh went on dual [registration] to Widnes as well the year before me. Widnes were emphatic 46-6 victors over Hull FC last Thursday Its a good pathway for us to get some game time but now I think well be able to attract some really good players to Widnes. Were up there and competing with the likes of Wigan these days.We do really want to go out and make a statement this week. I think last week was our biggest test of the season against Hull FC and this is going to be massive.While the Vikings are averaging 35 points a game, Wigan have the meanest defence having leaked just 66 points in five games.They are unbeaten against Super League opposition at the DW Stadium since June 2014 - not that coach Shaun Wane is taking his sides imppressive home record for granted.dddddddddddd Stefan Marsh, Corey Thompson, Denis Betts and Joe Mellor look ahead to Thursdays trip to Wigan Every club that comes to the DW poses a threat to it, Wane said. I dont get carried away with the fortress comments.We need to turn up mentally and be ready to defend our line like our life depends on it. We did that last week. Unfortunately we couldnt see the game out by nilling Leeds [winning 28-6] but well have to have the same attitude against Widnes. Wigan ran out 28-6 winners in their Grand Final rematch with Leeds Theyre playing really well. Theyre scoring some points and really attacking teams.They have an advantage with their home pitch but theyre also playing well away. The attacking shapes theyre showing with Joe Mellor, Kev Brown and Rhys Hanbury out the back are outstanding.Theyve done things to Leeds and Hull that we couldnt do. We beat them both but they werent convincing wins and Widnes have absolutely pumped both teams [56-12 and 46-6 respectively]. Wigan will give a late fitness test to George Williams Widnes are set to switch Chris Dean from the second row to centre to plug the gap caused by the loss of Chris Bridge with a neck injury, while Setaimata Sa and Gil Dudson are both pushing for recalls.Wigan will give late fitness tests to stand-off George Williams, who pulled out of last weeks win over Leeds with a back problem, and second rower Liam Farrell, who is nursing a shoulder injury.Second rower Nick Gregson keeps his place in the squad after making his debut against the Rhinos and Wane may give a debut to prop Joe Bretherton if Farrell is ruled out.Wigan Warriors: John Bateman, Joe Bretherton, Gregg Burke, Josh Charnley, Tony Clubb, Liam Farrell, Ben Flower, Anthony Gelling, Oliver Gildart, Nick Gregson, Dom Manfredi, Lee Mossop, Sean OLoughlin, Sam Powell, Dan Sarginson, Matty Smith, Ryan Sutton, Taulima Tautai, George Williams.Widnes Vikings: Kevin Brown, Hep Cahill, Chris Dean, Gil Dudson, Alex Gerrard, Tom Gilmore, Rhys Hanbury, Aaron Heremaia, Chris Houston, Macgraff Leuluai, Manase Manuokafoa, Stefan Marsh, Joe Mellor, Eamon OCarroll, Charly Runciman, Setaimata Sa, Corey Thompson, Lloyd White, Matt Whitley.Watch Wigan v Widnes live on Sky Sports 2 HD on Thursday from 7.30pm.
