ORLANDO, Fla. -- Kenneth Faried scored 26 points and Wilson Chandler added 21 points and 10 rebounds to rally the Denver Nuggets to a 120-112 win over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. JJ Hickson had 20 points and nine rebounds, and Ty Lawson added 17 points and 12 assists for the Nuggets, who ended a two-game losing streak. Arron Afflalo led Orlando with 24 points. Nikola Vucevic added 20, but had only four points in the second half. Jameer Nelson scored 19 points and had nine assists in Orlandos fifth loss in six games. After trailing by as many as 13 points in the first half, Denver took an 85-74 lead into the fourth quarter. A fast-break layup by JJ Hickson gave the Nuggets a 105-92 lead with 4:49 to play. The Magic trimmed the deficit to five on two occasions, but couldnt get any closer. Afflalos two free throws made it 115-110 with 1:26 to play, but the late rally died when Kyle OQuinn couldnt run down a pass on a fast-break and turned the ball over. Aaron Brooks converted a layup on the ensuing possession to give Denver a 117-110 lead with 1:03 to play and the Nuggets coasted home with the win. Denver, which played in spurts during the first half, came out with energy to start the second half and took command of the game. Faried and Chandler had nine points each during an 18-6 run that gave Denver an 80-70 lead. The burst included a four-point play by Chandler, who was knocked out of bounds as he drilled a 3-pointer from the corner. It helped that the Nuggets assigned Faried to cover Vucevic in the second half. Vucevic had 16 points in the first half, but missed his only shot in the third quarter and had just four points in the final period. The first half was back and forth with Orlando slipping away and Denver reeling them back in and eventually taking a 52-50 halftime lead. Vucevic had 12 points and seven rebounds in the first eight minutes to help the Magic build a 23-15 lead, but Denver cut it back to 27-23 by the end of the period. Orlando took advantage of four straight Nuggets turnovers at the start of the second quarter to go up 40-27. Oladipo and Harris both had breakaway dunks during the 13-4 run, but it ended when Oladipo lost the ball on another breakaway. The Nuggets, once again, slowly gained on the Magic, tying the game at 48 on Chandlers 3-pointer with 1:05 left in the half. Lawson made a 3-point play to give Denver its first lead of the game at 51-50 with 4 seconds left, then stole the inbounds pass and fed Faried, who was fouled on a dunk attempt. He made one free throw to give Denver a slim halftime advantage. NOTES: Denver outrebounded Orlando 52-38. The Magic are 0-31 when being outrebounded this season. .

However, Wilkins has speculated that Contes desire to re-shape the backroom staff at Stamford Bridge could be delaying official confirmation of his appointment as the club have a lot of thinking to do.Having had great success with Juventus, winning three Serie A titles, Conte is now in charge of the Italy national team. However, it was announced on Tuesday morning that he would be stepping down after Euro 2016, which would free him up to take the Chelsea post.And Wilkins told Sky Sports News HQ: I think he would be a good fit. No question about it, he knows his stuff.I sincerely hope he speaks the language, because it is a massive barrier if you dont. Wilkins (right) is a former Chelsea player and assistant manager And especially if he wants to bring in six people as well - I think that could be why Chelsea havent quite come out and said he is the manager.I believe there are a number of people that he wants to bring with him. His two brothers - one of his advisers is his brother, one scout that watches the away teams play is his brother - plus he wants to bring in two fitness ccoaches, and two coaches [Angelo Alessio and Massimo Carrera].dddddddddddd Steve Holland is currently Chelseas assistant first-team coach He added of Chelseas current assistant first-team coaches: So, you are going to lose Steve Holland, you are going to lose Eddie Newton, you are going to lose [fitness coach] Chris Jones, all fantastic people at Stamford Bridge who know what Chelsea is all about.That is probably why Chelsea have not quite announced that is going to be the situation, because they have got a lot of thinking to do. Conte will step down from his Italy role after Euro 2016 Wilkins thinks Conte may have already suggested some transfer targets for Chelsea to pursue while he concentrates on Euro 2016.He has probably identified the players he wants and it is probably in motion right now, Wilkins said.But the big problem he faces is that they are not going to be playing Champions League football. A couple of the options he may have had could be changing their mind about coming to London. ' ' '
