Magic 98, Clippers 90: Nikola Vucevic scored 30 points to lead five players in double figures and pulled down 21 rebounds as Orlando stunned visiting Los Angeles to end the Clippers' three-game winning streak.

E'Twaun Moore scored 12 off the bench and Jameer Nelson, Arron Afflalo and Victor Oladipo added 11 apiece for the Magic, who have won three straight to begin a four-game home stand. Nelson also dished out eight assists and Andrew Nicholson had nine points and eight rebounds in a reserve role.

Blake Griffin collected 23 points and 13 rebounds and Chris Paul registered his fifth double-double in as many games with 18 points and 10 assists for Los Angeles. J.J. Redick added 17 points against his former team, DeAndre Jordan grabbed 19 rebounds to go with nine points and Jamal Crawford scored 14 off the bench.

The Magic led 57-42 at halftime and pushed it to 19 with two quick buckets to start the third quarter. Los Angeles, which shot 35.6 percent in the first half, answered with a 29-5 run to take the lead and went 14-of-23 while outscoring Orlando 32-15 in the third quarter.

Orlando withstood the rally and kept it close as the lead changed hands five times in the fourth quarter before Afflalo and Vucevic knocked down jumpers on consecutive possessions to put the Magic in control for good. One game after going 15-of-38 from 3-point range, Los Angeles was 3-of-19 from behind the arc.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Oladipo has scored in double figures in the first five games of his career. … The Clippers, who entered the game averaging 29.75 points per quarter, marked their lowest output of the season with 16 points in the fourth quarter and their 20 points in the first quarter is their second-lowest total. ... Los Angeles SF Matt Barnes sat out with a bruised right thigh and is considered questionable for Thursday's game against Miami.
