Spurs take care of ball, win in Orlando: 114-92.

Aaron Gordon played well, but the Magic offense collapsed.
The Spurs blew the Magic out after a strong second quarter (34-23) as Orlando scored just 46 points in the second half, unable to find momentum and strike back. Aaron Gordon did manage 16 points with 8 rebounds, hitting two threes, but it was not enough, despite 11 assists by DJ Augustin and four other Magic players notching double figures. Nikola Vucevic had a cold night with just 8 points, 14 rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Spurs committed only three turnovers in a masterful performance (10 turnovers for the Magic), hitting 16 shots from the perimeter and 53% overall to Orlando's 44% (and an icy 11/40 from 3PT), despite the Magic shooting twice as many free throws. The Spurs dominated the paint 56-30 and the fast break 18-13, swiping 8 steals and swatting 5 blocks on Orlando.

Brandon Ingram scored 19 points, followed by Avery Bradley's 16 points & 7 assists with 3 steals. P.J. Tucker had a nice evening with 16 points, 6 rebounds on 4 made daggers from long range. Taurean Prince notched 13 points with 2 steals. Jeremy Lin dished 7 assists.
