Gobert was a handful around the paint going 9-for-10 from the field in the win. Joe Ingles stuffed the stat-sheet with 18 points, seven rebounds, eight assists and three steals.

Ingles came into the game second in the league in three-point percentage at 44%. He went 4-for-8 from long range against the Magic.

Nikola Vucevic tried to keep Orlando in it with a double-double of 15 points and 12 rebounds. Aaron Gordon had a tough night shooting from the field at just 22% but still managed to record 13 points and six rebounds.


With the victory Utah is still in the race for the 8th seed in the Western Conference sitting 2.0 games behind the Denver Nuggets.
