ORLANDO, Fla. -- Evan Fournier seemed oblivious to the trash talk and choice words Brooklyn Nets newcomer Sean Kilpatrick sent his way in the final 3 minutes Friday night.Instead of firing back with nothing more than his mouth, the Orlando guard silenced Kilpatrick with a dominant performance down the stretch. Fournier scored 11 straight points -- hitting all eight of his free throws and a clutch 3-pointer -- as the Magic beat Brooklyn 118-111 to snap their six-game home losing streak.Its part of the game. I love it. I really love the trash talking, said Fournier, who finished with 21 points. Im usually not the one starting it, but when its on its on.Fourniers outburst broke open a game that was tied at 106. He converted four consecutive free throws and then drained a 3-pointer that gave Orlando a 113-108 lead with 1:53 remaining.It was a remarkable finish considering Fourniers early struggles, which led to a brief benching in the third quarter.Hes done that before, where hasnt been shooting the basketball well but still has the confidence to hit big shots down the stretch, Magic coach Frank Vogel said. As long as he is making the right reads -- when he makes the right reads he shoots a remarkable 3-point percentage. He is a big reason why we pulled away with the victory.In a game that was close throughout, the Magic came up with key baskets and big stops down the stretch. The Nets had no offense outside of point guard Jeremy Lin during the final 3 minutes.Orlando, meanwhile, received key contributions from its big men, with Serge Ibaka, Bismack Biyombo and Nikola Vucevic combining for 11 blocked shots. The trio also was important in giving the Magic several second-shot opportunities. The Magic outscored the Nets 10-4 on second-chance points as a result of 13 offensive rebounds.They absolutely have an athletic group and we knew they were committed to crashing the glass beforehand, said Nets center Brook Lopez, who had 22 points and five blocked shots. They went out and did it. Maybe we need to recommit.NET GAINVucevic seems to save some of his best performances for Lopez and the Nets.Friday night was certainly no different. After missing three games with a back injury, Vucevic had 21 points, 10 rebounds and a big blocked shot off the bench against Lopez.I think we both play really well against each other. I think we both just enjoy going against each other. You get fired up for a matchup like that, he said.GETTING TECHNICALThe third quarter featured five technical fouls, four on the Magic and one on Nets coach Kenny Atkinson.But going into the fourth, Vogel let his players know it was time to get their heads back in the game.I told everybody to stop getting techs, said Vogel, assessed one of the technicals himself for arguing a no-call. We said our peace. We didnt like what we were seeing. We said our peace and move on.TIP-INSNets: Lin returned to the lineup after missing Wednesdays game due to lower back tightness.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Losing is one thing for Arkansas coach Bret Bielema.Losing in the fashion the Razorbacks did two weeks ago to No. 11 Auburn -- allowing 543 yards rushing in a 56-3 loss -- is another completely.With a bye week to put that humiliation behind it, Arkansas (6-3, 2/3 Southeastern Conference) bounced back with a dominating 31-10 win over No. 10 Florida on Saturday.And it was the defense that was trampled by the Tigers that led the way, holding the Gators (6-3, 4-2, No. 11 CFP) to a season-low 12 yards rushing on 14 carries.To come out of that game and realize we couldnt stop the run, I just said, `I dont care what we do, were going to stop the run on defense, Bielema said. I dont care if we played with 11 guys or had to play with 12. Ill take the penalty; we aint going to have someone run the ball on us.While Arkansas defense had its way with a reeling Florida offense, Rawleigh Williams did his best to lead the Razorbacks on offense -- rushing for 148 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 26 carries. It was the fifth time this season Williams has topped the 100-yard mark.The win is the first over the Gators for Arkansas since the 1982 Bluebonnet Bowl, and its the Razorbacks first SEC victory over Florida. Arkansas had lost nine straight conference games to the Gators since joining the league in 1992, but it outgained Florida 466-241 in total yardage on Saturday in the comfortable win.Thats our identity, Williams said. If we cant run the ball, our team doesnt click the way it should ... Everything else will open up because of that, and it did today.The Gators only touchdown came on an interception return for a touchdown by Duke Dawson in the first half. Luke Del Rio finished 19-of-37 passing for 229 yards and also threw two interceptions for Florida, which has now failed to reach 250 yards of total offense in three of its last four games.First and foremost for the guys who made the trip down here, I apologize you had to sit through that, Florida coach Jim McElwain said. ... I feel horriblee for Gator Nation and the way everything kind of played out.ddddddddddddThe Razorbacks finished with 223 yards rushing overall, a marked improvement after totaling 25 yards on 31 carries in the loss to Auburn two weeks ago. Freshman Devwah Whaley added 66 yards on the ground on 14 carries, and quarterback Austin Allen finished 15-of-26 passing for 243 yards and a touchdown.Senior wide receiver Drew Morgan led Arkansas seven catches for 95 yards and a touchdown, while safety Santos Ramirez opened the scoring with a 24-yard interception return for a touchdown -- the fourth time the Razorbacks have scored on an interception this season.After that Auburn game, we were down, Arkansas defensive end Jeremiah Ledbetter said. But we knew we could bounce back and we had a good team.THE TAKEAWAYIf there was any doubt left about the dominance of the SEC West vs. the East this season, this should put an end to that once and for all. The West was 8-1 against the East entering Saturday, and every team in the West now has a victory this season over an East opponent.POLL IMPLICATIONSArkansas fell out of the rankings following its humiliating 56-3 loss to Auburn two weeks ago, the worst defeat in Bielemas four seasons. Saturdays win might not be enough to usher in a return for the Razorbacks, but voters are likely to now pay more attention to who Arkansas has lost to this season -- No. 1 Alabama, No. 7 Texas A&M and No. 11 Auburn.Florida, meanwhile, continues to rate as the best of the SEC East -- which should be enough to keep the Gators in the rankings for at least another week.UP NEXTFlorida returns home for the first time since Oct. 15 when it hosts South Carolina next week.Arkansas closes out its home schedule next week by hosting No. 13 LSU, which it has defeated in each of the last two seasons.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
