The #Magic are averaging 40+ threes during this losing streak after averaging around 32 for most of the season. They are up to 6 already (with one make).

#Magic have to get to the paint, especially against a poor defensive team like the #Pacers. Sloppy start.

13-9 IND, 7:34 1st

This game is about aggression. The #Magic are skating on the perimeter and not really expecting or knowing what to do with the #Pacers' ball pressure. They are 3 for 13 from three and 4 for 9 on 2s.

Pacers are moving the ball better and getting downhill.

26-19 IND, 2:56 1st

The No Paolo/No Bane lineup worked in Saturday's game as the #Magic closed the gap after a slow start. Mosley returning to it tonight. Jase/Jett/TDS/Penda/Goga.

Big close to the first here.

26-19 IND, 2:38 1st

Bane is back in to end the first.

He and Paolo are a combined 2 for 11. The #Magic aren't executing at a high level anyway, but they aren't beating anybody if those two are shooting this poorly.

Big three from Bane to beat the shot clock to get going.

30-24 IND, 0:47 1st

The #Magic just do not look like they have any juice. They finally got to the basket but were missing shots. #Pacers are doing a good job collapsing and crowding everything. Indiana simply outworking Orlando in the first quarter.

Pacers lead 34-24 after one quarter.

Some better defense. Some better ball movement. And now Paolo Banchero trying to get to the paint, and the #Magic are back in this game. This stuff isn't rocket science. Feels a lot like the Magic make this harder than they have to.

36-35 IND, 7:41 2nd

The #Magic are still not getting out of their own ways. Paolo is doing a lot better getting to the basket. But he is still holding the ball.

#Pacers are attacking the switch on Pascal Siakam. Magic need to fight over screens to keep size on him.

58-57 ORL, 1:49 2nd

Really strong quarter from Paolo Banchero with 17 points on 6 for 6 shooting, including a buzzer-beating layup. Made a point to get to the rim more and that set up his outside shot a lot better. #Magic were far more active and energetic in the second.

Magic lead 64-59 at half.

Another sluggish start for the #Magic. Sloppy turnovers and the #Pacers are running again. That is how they generate their best offense. Indiana has not been credited with fast break points, but everything is off pace.

74-69 IND, 8:51 3rd

Again... the #Pacers are just playing harder. The #Magic have not been executing well offensively at all. A lot of one pass possessions or Paolo forcing things. He has mostly been good. But now he has slowed down. And they run on every miss.

94-84 IND, 3:36 3rd

Siakam checks back in as the #Magic regain some momentum and Paolo comes out of the game. I think the #Pacers are going to go for this win. They want to end this streak.

95-89 IND, 1:38 3rd

Like Paolo in the second quarter, Desmond Bane is starting to find a groove here at the end of the third. He has made his last five shots to get to 14 points on 6-for-12 shooting. #Magic have climbed back into it. But the #Pacers are confident now.

100-95 IND, 0:29 3rd

The #Magic are in trouble tonight. The #Pacers are playing hard and making everything hard, even with the Magic scoring 95 points in three quarters. Mosley again costing the Magic, not knowing you can't have a proximate foul on a goaltend.

#Pacers lead 103-95 after three.

Paolo checks back in for Bane. And Siakam comes out of the game for what I assume is his normal fourth quarter rest. To say the least, the #Magic need to make their push now. They have had no answer for Siakam tonight (31 points, 11/20 FGs).

113-104 IND, 8:45 4th

The #Pacers are moving the ball with confidence tonight. They have hit an unusual number of threes -- 14 for 32 from deep. But the #Magic have not been engaged on D either. Pacers are fighting for something. I don't know what the Magic are doing.

121-109 IND, 5:47 4th

The #Pacers built their lead up with Siakam on the bench. Another missed opportunity. Clear the #Pacers want to win this. Might be a throw out the playbook and let Paolo and Bane bail this team out. #Magic always seem to get in their own way though.

121-111 IND, 5:21 4th
