The Pacers were paced by top scorer Paul George's with 24 points and 14 rebounds grabbed by Roy Hibbert along with seven blocked shots.
Rookie Victor Oladipo, the Magic's No. 2 pick in the first round of the NBA draft had 12 points, along with three rebounds and two assists in 22:35, coming off the bench in what was a homecoming of sorts since he played college ball at Indiana University.
Orlando's top scorer in the game was Andrew Nicholson with 18 points, all in the first half, while coming off the bench.
While Orland's bench with contribution from Nicholson and Oladipo, the starting backcourt was not so respectable with Jameer Nelson and Arron Afflalo a combined for 7-for-27 shooting. Oladipo said he was excited to return to Indiana, but told media outlets after the loss, ""It felt good getting that reaction from the fans, but I like to win."
