The Indiana Pacers defeated the Orlando Magic, 120-109, in an NBA seeding game in Orlando on Tuesday evening.

The Pacers (42-26) had persevered through key absences in their first two games in the Orlando restart bubble, and Tuesday, they entered the conference matchup against the Magic (32-36) with their starting backcourt intact for the first time. The reinforced starting five paid immediate dividends, as Indiana jumped out a 43-22 first-quarter lead that set the tone for the contest. Orlando was only able to whittle away five points from their large deficit during the middle periods, making the final quarter a relatively foregone conclusion. The Magic actually shot an impressive 47.6 percent, but the Pacers were even better with a 54.8-percent success rate, including 39.4 percent from three-point range.

Nikola Vucevic led the Magic with 24 points, adding 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal. Aaron Gordon and Terrence Ross produced matching 20-point tallies while pulling down seven and three rebounds, respectively. James Ennis supplied 12 points, four rebounds, two assists and one block. Markelle Fultz contributed 10 points off the bench.

T.J. Warren led the Pacers once again, registering 32 points that he complemented with three assists, two rebounds, three steals and one block. Myles Turner finished with 21 points, six boards, two assists, one steal and one block. Victor Oladipo compiled 13 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals. Malcolm Brogdon and Aaron Holiday generated matching 12-point, four-rebound efforts, with Brogdon adding eight assists. T.J. McConnell also poured in 12 points and supplemented them with five assists, four rebounds and one steal.

The Magic returns to the floor Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors, while the Pacers next face the Phoenix Suns on Thursday afternoon.
