Down 52-43 at the break the Orlando Magic stayed the course vs the East Best in the Indiana Pacers. They get back into the game cutting the nine paint lead to eight after three then 2013-14 R.O.Y. Top Candidate Victor Oladipo of Hoosier Hysteria strikes!

Behind a 29-18 run in the 4th and final frame and 13 of his 23 points when it counted Victor Oladipo and the Magic beat the Pacers and cap off an amazing weekend near the Magic Kingdom in the House that Orlando built. I went there Dwight and SHAQ among others and say something...Ok! The Magic also get 19 points and thirteen boars from Nikola Vucevic and 13 and five boards from Tobias Harris as those two along with Oladipo were the only Magic Players in double figures. The Magic were - 18 from the Arc but made seven more from the Stripe.

The Pacers knew better and could not get a "Stop" as they arguably play better Transition and Half Court "D" than anyone in the Logo. Pacers All-Star PG-24 had a game-high 27 points as he grabbed seven Oranges. Lance Stephenson continues his solid play adding 16 and nine boards with D-West dropping 14 as the only three Pacers in double figures. The Pacers know every game from here on out is crucial for home court in the East and losses like this add to that Misery heading down that back stretch in Winning Time.

The Magic sending a message and learning quickly hit the Thunder and Pacers back to back for their Psyche. The Pacers fall, to 39-11 but the Heat lost to the Jazz last night so there is your "No Gaining Ground" reference for the night.
