Magic can’t shake shooting slump, fall to Thunder

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Orlando Magic couldn’t overcome a 37% shooting performance as they absorbed a 108-99 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night at Amway Center.

The Magic came in averaging a league-best 33.8 points in the fourth quarter, but they managed just 17 points during the final 12 minutes and couldn’t catch the Thunder. Orlando got within 90-89 on a Dwayne Bacon three-point play with 9:37 to play but scored just two points during the next 5:17.

Nikola Vucevic recorded his fifth double-double of the season with a season-high 30 points to go with 13 rebounds to lead the Magic (4-2), who lost for the second straight game.
