Nikola Vucevic recorded 14 points and 14 rebounds while Tobias Harris had 14 and 10, respectively, as the Magic played without leading scorer Arron Afflalo due to illness.

Burke scored eight points and dished out four assists in the first quarter as the Jazz recorded the final six points for a 27-20 advantage. The Magic missed their last nine shots from the floor in the second quarter as Utah scored 10 of the final 12 – eight by Burke – and led 49-39 at intermission.

Orlando battled back to take the lead before Burke and Hayward led an 11-4 run to close out the third quarter as the Jazz took a six-point lead into the fourth. E’Twaun Moore scored eight points as the Magic started the final period with a 14-1 run, but Utah responded with the next nine points and never trailed again.
