INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Evan Fournier scored 25 points and Nikola Vucevic added 24 on Thursday night to lead the Orlando Magic past the Indiana Pacers 114-94.
The Magic have won three straight since snapping a six-game losing streak, including their first win at Indiana since Feb. 4, 2012.
And it came on a night the Pacers couldn't afford to lose. Indiana, which slipped into the No. 8 slot in the East with Tuesday's home loss to Chicago, now trails Detroit for the No. 7 spot by one full game.
Paul George scored 27 points and had eight rebounds while Lavoy Allen finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds, but it wasn't nearly enough.
The Magic took control with a 7-0 second-quarter run that made it 53-41.
Indiana finally tied the score at 62 early in the third, but Orlando answered with a 14-5 run and steadily pulled away.
