The Orlando Magic (8 - 14) defeated the Utah Jazz (5 - 15) 98 - 93 at EnergySolutions Arena on Friday. Even without their best big man, Nikola Vucevic, who sat out with back spasms, the Magic eased past the struggling Jazz. Kyle O'Quinn started in place of Vucevic and scored 13 points in his 18 minutes on the court, but it was Victor Oladipo and Tobias Harris who did most of the heavy lifting for the Magic. Harris had 22 points with seven rebounds, while Oladipo had 20 points with six assists on an efficient 9 - for - 12 shooting performance. Orlando hit 50 percent of their shots and an equally impressive 85 percent of their free throws, which when compared to the 46 percent from the field and 62 percent from the line the Jazz shot, gives a solid indication as to why the result went the way it did. The Magic continue their road trip Saturday, taking on the Sacramento Kings. The Jazz have now lost eight straight games, after being a respectable 5 - 7 after their first 12 contests. Rodney Hood, making his second career start in place of Alec Burks, scored a career - high 15 points in 26 minutes and joined Derrick Favors (21 points), Enes Kanter (16), and Trey Burke (13) in scoring double digits. Favors added five blocked shots, while Burke ran the offense, distributing 11 assists. Burke is now averaging 9 assists in his last three games. The Jazz next play Monday, when they travel to Sacramento to try and snap their losing streak.
