These are two teams playing well below expectations and it was n't pretty on either side. Both teams shot below 40 percent from the field and below 37 percent from three - point range. Terrence Jones had one of his best games of the season, as he scored 26 points and grabbed nine boards, filling in for Anthony Davis. Without Davis in the lineup, New Orleans lost almost every game last season and it's clear they have no offense with him out of the lineup. Nikola Vucevic was a beast down low, as he scored 10 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in the win. Elfrid Payton's five points on 2 - of - 9 shooting looks ugly, but he stuffed the stat sheet by adding four rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks. There were only three ties and 10 lead changes, as the Magic led for the majority of the game.
