ORLANDO, Fla. -- Danilo Gallinari is at his best when being aggressive and imposing his will on opposing teams.That hasnt always come easily to the Denver Nuggets forward.Gallinari managed to put it all together Saturday night, scoring 21 points in leading the Nuggets to a 121-113 win over the Orlando Magic. He consistently attacked in the paint and got to the foul line 10 times.Thats what I need to do every game, said Gallinari, who shot 5 for 8 from the field and 9 of 10 at the free throw line. The more Im aggressive, the more I can make things happen for everybody else.Gallinari hit perhaps his biggest shot when he nailed a 3-pointer that put the Nuggets ahead 109-106 late in the fourth quarter. Denver never trailed again in a game that included 12 lead changes and six ties up to that point.Its real simple with Danilo: When he is aggressive, hes a great player, said Nuggets coach Michael Malone, whose team improved to 9-15. When he settles for jump shots and doesnt get to the foul line, he is not as good of a player.The entire Nuggets team played aggressively Saturday, successfully attacking a short-handed Orlando interior that was without center Nikola Vucevic, who injured his back during Friday nights loss at Charlotte. Power forward Serge Ibaka and Bismack Biyombo were there but that did little to slow the Nuggets, who outscored Orlando in the paint 64-34.In addition to Gallinari, Denver also got big baskets inside from Jusuf Nurkic, Nikola Jokic and Kenneth Faried. It didnt help the Magic that leading shot blocker Biyombo was nursing a left shoulder injury and wore a brace to protect it.They have shot blockers in there but we cant be afraid of them, said Faried, who had 19 points and 10 rebounds off the bench. We have to keep attacking them. Sooner or later something is going to give. Either we are going to get our shot blocked or we are going to finish over the top. We were able to finish tonight.It was a sore point for Magic coach Frank Vogel, who has seen his top-3 defense cave during this stretch of playing eight games in 12 days.Most of it was on the interior, said Vogel, whose team has lost three straight. Nurkic is a load in there. Not having (Vucevic) hurt us a little bit.Nurkic had 17 points on 8-of-11 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds for the Nuggets, who lost their previous two games. Will Barton scored 16.Faried was 9 of 10 from the field, and Denver shot 57 percent.TIP-INSNuggets: Denver outrebounded the Magic 35-26 and benefited with 17 second-chance points to just seven for Orlando. ...

Meanwhile, 360-degree still images from Getty Images havent gotten as much attention, but have been stunning. NBCs VR video relies on cameras at fixed locations off to the sides of the fields of play. With no camera operator, theres no control over the shots. Getty gave a 360-degree camera to each of its photographers, and theyve been able to capture the flexibility and strength of Simone Biles on the vault, and Argentinas Juan Martin del Potro diving into the crowd after winning his tennis gold medal. The images are available for free on the 360 Photos app on the Gear VR and Oculus Rift headsets.---AP Technology Writer Anick Jesdanun in New York contributed to this report.---Follow David Bauder at twitter.com/dbauder.
