NBA wrap: Magic puts on stunning offensive performance, moves up in playoff race

Orlando's ridiculous offensive performance was fueled by three 25-point scorers.

The Magic couldn't be stopped in Friday's 149-113 victory over the Hawks.

Orlando's ridiculous offensive performance was fueled by three 25-point scorers.

Nikola Vucevic and Evan Fournier both contributed 25 points as starters. But Terrence Ross pitched in with a surprising 25 more from the bench and connected on six 3-pointers.

Trae Young and John Collins mustered 22 and 20 points respectively for Atlanta, but were simply outmatched from the start.

With the Magic's victory, it moved to sixth in the Eastern Conference standings. Orlando is just a half game ahead of Detroit and Brooklyn in the playoff race. Things could get tight down the stretch as these teams battle it out for optimal post-season seeding.
