Paolo Banchero missed his second consecutive game (illness) for the Magic, who connected on 52.7 percent of their shots from the floor and 9 of 25 (36 percent) from 3-point range.

Brooklyn was held to 39.2 percent shooting, including an 8-of-31 (25.8 percent) mark from beyond the arc. The Nets’ past four losses have come by a combined 110 points.

Orlando led 33-25 after playing a turnover-free first quarter and shooting 10-for-13 from inside the arc.

Franz Wagner scored 13 of his 17 first-half points in the second quarter to help Orlando take a 58-44 lead into halftime. Schroder had 12 points before the break to lead the Nets.

The Magic stretched their lead to 78-51 after Carter’s turnaround jumper capped a 20-7 run to open the second half. Orlando outscored Brooklyn 30-15 in the third quarter after shooting 63.2 percent from the floor.

Orlando held a commanding 88-59 advantage at the end of the third quarter and moved ahead 103-71 on Anthony Black’s 3-pointer with 6:08 left in the game.
