After ending the third quarter down 85 - 84, the Magic took off in the fourth quarter, out - scoring the Rockets 36 - 28 to seal the victory in front of their home crowd. The Magic were able to force the Rockets into 21 turnovers, which may have been the difference in this game. The Magic were led by Victor Oladipo, who went 12 - for - 19 from the field and 3 - for - 4 from the three - point line to score a game - high of 32 points, while also adding six rebounds, six assists and three steals. He's averaging 33 points over his last two games, as he's taken it on himself to lead this team against two very tough opponents in the Rockets and Chicago Bulls. Nikola Vucevic was another huge reason for the Magic's succes. He finished with 25 points and 12 rebounds, despite being matched up with Dwight Howard, one of the most intimidating defensive players in the league. It marked his sixth double - double over his last six games. Rookie Elfrid Payton had one of his better outings of the season. He came one point shy of matching a season - high in points with 15, while also recording six rebounds and four assists. Channing Frye was effective as well with 15 points (5 - 10 FG, 5 - 9 3Pt) and five assists. Despite taking the loss, the Rockets had all five starters finish in double figures in points. James Harden led the way, going 10 - for - 16 from the field and 1 - for - 5 from the three - point line for a team - high of 26 points. He found his teammates at a high rate as well with 10 assists, while also notching five steals. The double - double marked his ninth of the season. Dwight Howard had a big game as well, finishing with 23 points (8 - 15 FG, 7 - 7FT) and eight rebounds. While he's known for struggling with his free throws, he made them count in this one, converting on all seven of his attempts. Uncharacteristically, Patrick Beverley was very impressive shooting the ball. He went 7 - for - 11 from the field and 3 - for - 5 from the three - point line to score 17 points in 34 minutes. Both Trevor Ariza and Donatas Motiejunas reached double - digit points as well with 15 and 12 points respectively.
