The Orlando Magic defeated the Brooklyn Nets, 108-81, at Kia Center on Tuesday.

The Magic (33-26) finally stole a win from the Nets (22-36) after dropping the first two head-to-head contests this season. And in reality, there was no doubt Orlando would secure the win as soon as the game started. The Magic looked in control throughout the game and quickly raced to a 33-25 score in the first quarter, setting the tone and not allowing the Nets to construct much in the way of half-court offense. Orlando bolstered their lead even further in the second quarter, and by the time halftime arrived, it was already a double-digit lead for the Magic (58-44) after a 25-19 score in the second quarter. The Magic would pull away for good in the third quarter following a 30-15 score, and the Nets simply didn’t have answers for them. Brooklyn won the fourth and final quarter, but by that time, the game was already decided. With the win, the Nets fell to 9-19 on the road, while the Magic improved to 19-8 at home.
