Tuesday night, the Indiana Pacers were coming back from a three-game California road swing, still undefeated at home, before battling a fired-up Magic team. Orlando put up a franchise-low 56 points in a loss at Boston on Monday, but doubled that score in a win the next night.

The Pacers began the game on a 22-11 run, but ended up giving away a 49-80 run at one point, resulting in their first home loss.  The Magic dominated the second half of the game, putting up 57 points, while Indiana seemed to fall apart on both sides of the court, scoring only 38 points in the second half, and losing 102-83.

Dwight Howard got in foul trouble early, but still became Orlando’s all-time scoring leader during the game. His 14 points helped him pass Nick Anderson for the Magic’s all time scoring total. Howard has now scored 10, 657 points in his career, all with Orlando. The Magic also put up a season-high nine blocks against Indiana during the win.

The Pacers travel to Chicago on Wednesday, and the Magic will face the Celtics in a revenge game in Orlando on Thursday.
