He may not be appearing with Kyra Sedgwick on TNT anytime soon, but Orlando Magic guard and MU alum Travis Diener is one of their five "closers" for Wednesday's 86-83 win over the New Orleans Hornets.
From the AP recap:
¶ Trailing by five with 9:51 left in the fourth quarter, the Magic rattled off a 17-3 run in less than five minutes to take an 84-75 lead. Reserve Travis Diener, who rarely plays in close games, led the way with nine points, including a pair of 3-pointers.
Diener played just over 30 minutes and finished with 13 points, one assist, one rebound and one steal. He went 4-for-8 from the field, including 3-for-7 from 3-point range, accounting for all three of Orlando's 3-pointers. He has averaged 13.3 points in his last three games, going 8-for-15 from 3-point range and 13-for-20 overall.

And it was even sweeter because Redick never even took his warmups off.
You're right, that made it a lot sweeter! It's good to see Diener consistenly playing of late.
