Kings-Magic PBP thread for Jan. 15

[VF21]

Good news: I'm here to do the PBP.

Bad news: At 7:55 p.m., regardless of the score, I'm turning my TV to Fox for the season premiere of 24.

I don't have TiVo, so I have no alternative unless I want to miss the start of the series I've been waiting for what seems like forever to return, so I had to make a choice.
