The Magic pulled within one point four times before the midway point of the third quarter before Murphy scored five points to help the Pelicans open an 83-77 lead.

Markelle Fultz scored the next four points and Banchero made two free throws to pull Orlando even at 83-all. Murphy broke the tie with a layup and Hayes followed with another New Orleans dunk.

After a Hayes dunk, the Magic scored five straight to open a 10-point lead with 6:48 remaining. New Orleans trimmed the lead to seven points twice but didn’t get any closer.

Valanciunas scored eight early points and McCollum had six as New Orleans opened a 22-8 lead.

Bol converted a three-point play and Mo Bamba and Anthony each made a 3-pointer to help pull Orlando within two points early in the second quarter.

Alvarado and Devonte’ Graham answered with 3-pointers on consecutive possessions as the Pelicans rebuilt the lead to six before the Magic took their first lead, 41-40, on a floater by Anthony.
