END RESULT

Trailing by more than 20 points for most of the game and by 27 late in the third quarter, the Pacers found life with a small lineup and put together a 23-4 run to cut the deficit to eight points midway through the fourth. But they would get no closer as Orlando held on for a 109-98 victory Wednesday before a sellout of 17,461 at Amway Arena. Dwight Howard scored a season-high 32 for the Magic, while Danny Granger led the Pacers with 25.

IMPACT

The Pacers lost their third in a row to fall to 14-28 overall, 4-18 on the road. They also lost their fifth straight in Orlando. It was their 17th loss by double figures this season, third-most in the league and two more than all of last season. The Magic snapped a three-game losing streak and improved to 27-15 overall, 15-4 at home.
