April 3, 2010 (Part 2); Ginobili's 43 catapults Spurs past Magic, and more!

Manu Ginobili scored a season-high 43 points as his San Antonio Spurs pounces the frustrated Orlando Magic, 112-100 Friday night.

Dwight Howard was hacked all night by Spurs players, as he was forced to take his shots from the charity stripe. He finished the game with 10 points on just 2 out of 11 from the free-throw line. He went irate at one point when he was continuously fouled during the fourth period.

Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich was ejected on just the first half of the game.

But even with the loss, the Magic still holds the 2nd playoff spot in the East, behind the league-leading Cleveland Cavaliers.

Ginobili also had 6 rebounds and 5 assists on the game.

Tim Duncan had 23 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists. Matt Bonner provided the spark of the bench with 15 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Magic were led by Rashard Lewis and Mickael Pietrus with 18 points each, while Jameer Nelson and J.J. Redick both scored 15 for the losing team.
