INDIANAPOLIS – Bennedict Mathurin scored 20 points, four teammates had 17 each and the Indiana Pacers beat the Orlando Magic 118-111 on Wednesday night.

With a lead of two in the final minute, the Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton sank a 3 and Mathurin made two foul shots. Six of nine Pacers scored in double figures. Haliburton, Myles Turner, Pascal Siakam and Jarace Walker each scored 17 points. TJ McConnell had 15 points.

Orlando’s Franz Wagner led all scorers with 28. Jalen Suggs added 15 and Moritz Wagner had 14 off the bench.

Takeaways

Magic: Lost fifth place in a row on a humiliating road trip. Orlando’s last win came on October 28 at home against the Pacers. Suggs was eliminated early as the 17.6-point scorer only collected two points in the first 19 minutes.

Pacers: After a sluggish 1/3 start, Indiana has won three of four games as the Pacers share the ball better and increase the tempo. It helps that Haliburton has returned to his All-Star form after a back injury.

Key moment

Trailing 97-96 with 8:45 to go, the Pacers went on a 16-6 run in 4:05 with four players contributing. Turner hit a 3 with a dunk and Haliburton sank a trey with a layup. The magic never worked again.

Key statistics

Walker, a second-year pro, set a new career scoring high by hitting all seven shots, including three 3-pointers. He also had six rebounds.

Next

The Magic host New Orleans on Friday and the Pacers visit Charlotte on Friday.
