The Orlando Magic fell to the visiting Utah Jazz 87 - 74 on Friday night at Amway Center. The Magic (3 - 6) led by four after three quarters but only scored 10 points in the fourth quarter while the Jazz (6 - 4) surged ahead with 27 in the quarter. Gordon Hayward has led the Jazz in scoring each game since his return to action on Nov. 6, resulting in three wins in four games for Utah. Their wins all came against sub - .500 teams but nonetheless they have been looking good. Hayward led the way for Utah in this one, finishing with 20 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, in 39 minutes while Derrick Favors followed up with 18 points and nine rebounds in 36 minutes, the most he has played in a game this season. Rudy Gobert stood his ground versus the Orlando bigs, finishing with 13 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks. The Jazz struggled shooting from distance going 7 - of - 28 but were able to make - up for it on the defensive end. Meanwhile, George Hill missed his third - straight game with a thumb injury. This marks the third loss in a row for the Magic, who have been struggling to find ways to score. They average less than 95 points per game and tried to shake things up by inserting Jeff Green into the starting lineup in place of Aaron Gordon, however it did not make much difference as Orlando still came up short, finishing with only 74 in this one. Orlando hit only 33 percent of its shots and only managed 13 assists, in contrast to 12 turnovers, as their offensive lagged. Evan Fournier led the way with 21 points and D.J. Augustin added 19 off the bench, but only two other players scored more than five points for the Magic. Next up for the Magic is a trip Oklahoma City to take on the Thunder on Sunday. The Jazz will be in Miami on Saturday for the second of a back - to - back.
