The Spurs led by as many as 16 points in the first half but Orlando came back and turned the game into a back-and-forth contest. Things were tied at 104 after a DeMar DeRozan layup with 1:32 to play before Fournier poured in his second big 3-pointer to give the Magic a lead it would not relinquish.

Aaron Gordon hit two free throws with 13.9 seconds to play and Nikola Vucevic added another less than a second later to make it 110-106 and give the Magic plenty of cushion.

The Spurs ripped off a 16-5 run midway through the second period to help turn a 31-24 lead after the opening period to a 15-point advantage.

A late 4-0 spurt by the Magic brought them to within 56-47 at the halftime, and still within shouting distance despite being outshot 55 percent to 37 percent by San Antonio in the half. Orlando was just 7 of 27 from the floor in the second quarter.

DeRozan led all players with 15 points at intermission while Gordon and Fournier paced the Magic with nine points each.
