INDIANAPOLIS _ The Orlando Magic went into Bankers Life Fieldhouse _ one of the most difficult places for a road to win in the NBA _ and came out victorious.
Again.
As they continue to pursue the playoffs, the Magic aren't going down without a fight.
Aaron Gordon recorded 23 points and 10 rebounds as the Magic scored a crucial victory in their playoff push with a 121-116 win over the Pacers on Saturday night.
Nikola Vucevic finished with 19 points as the Magic (38-39) bounced back from Thursday's lopsided loss at the Pistons.
Terrence Ross finished with 16 points and Jonathan Isaac had 14 points as the Magic put seven players in double figures.
Darren Collison scored 24 points and Bojan Bogdanovic had 22 for the Pacers (45-32).
The Magic win the season series with the Pacers 3-1 and have won the last two games in Indianapolis. The 76ers are the only other team to win twice at Bankers Life Fieldhouse this season.
The win pulled the Magic into the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference, for now, with the outcome of the Miami Heat's game Saturday against the New York Knicks still to be determined. A Heat win would restore the half-a-game lead they had over the Magic entering Saturday.
The Magic created some separation in the fourth quarter with an 8-0 run capped by a Ross 3-pointer that made it 107-98. From there, the Magic made shots when they needed them.
Like Gordon's 3- pointer that pushed the Magic ahead 115-106.
And D.J. Augustin's scooping layup that beat the shot clock and put the Magic up 117-110 with 29 seconds remaining.
