The Orlando Magic defeated the Detroit Pistons, 98 - 92, at Palace at Auburn Hills on Sunday. The Magic (9 - 12) embarked on their current road trip as losers of four in a row, and appeared like a team in disarray all the way around. However, they've found a way to turn things around away from the confines of Amway Center, as they've now managed to rattle off victories in four of their last five games, including three straight. Serge Ibaka played a pivotal role in Sunday's win, as he posted a team - high 21 points and added seven rebounds, four assists, four blocks and three steals. The performance was an extension of a resurgent stretch by the veteran forward, one in which he's posted double - digit scoring efforts in nine of 10 games and multiple blocks in seven of his last nine. Orlando has also developed a strong second unit in the the last several contests, with Nikola Vucevic and Jeff Green providing starter - quality production in reserve roles. Sunday, the pair posted 16 and 14 points, respectively, and the bench accounted for 45 of the Magic's 98 points. D.J. Augustin logged another start in place of Elfrid Payton and was second to Ibaka on the starting five with 12 points, three rebounds and three assists. Aaron Gordon was next, supplying 10 points and three rebounds. Evan Fournier underwhelmed, however, registering just five points on 1 - of - 7 shooting, along with two assists, a rebound and three steals. Vucevic added eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks to his bench - leading scoring total, while Green supplemented his aforementioned 14 points with five rebounds and three assists. Detroit (11 - 11) actually received a balanced effort from their starting five, which was led by Marcus Morris' 21 points. He added five rebounds, an assist and a pair of steals. Reggie Jackson made his season debut and looked outstanding, collecting 18 points, four assists and a rebound over just 23 minutes while proving that his troublesome knee was in playing shape. Tobias Harris was able to provide 11 points, four rebounds and an assist against his former Magic teammates. Andre Drummond posted a 10 - point, 10 - rebound double - double that also included three assists, three steals and two blocks. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope cooled off from recent performances with a tally of nine points, nine rebounds, four assists and a steal. Ish Smith, who went back to the bench with Jackson's return, managed 11 points, two assists and a rebound while leading the second unit in scoring. The Magic continue their swing through the Northeast with a trip to the nation's capital to face off with the Washington Wizards on Tuesday evening. The Pistons remain home and await the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday evening as well.
