The Magic ( 16 - 12 ) managed to outlast the Knicks ( 14 - 15 ) en route to a 107 - 99 victory at Madison Square Garden on Monday . Nikola Vucevic had 20 of his game - high 26 points after the third quarter while Evan Fournier was able to make a couple of huge baskets back - to - back to give the Magic a six point lead with two minutes remaining in the fourth , which ultimately put the Knicks out of reach . Vucevic abused New York down low , finishing 13 - of - 19 from the field with nine rebounds . Carmelo Anthony started off hot for the Knicks , but cooled off in the final frame . The Magic may have got the win Monday , but they lost point guard Elfrid Payton in the first quarter due to a sore left ankle . Prior to leaving , Payton was having a decent night with five points and three assists in 10 minutes of action . Orlando turned to Victor Oladipo in Payton 's absence and he put together a nice game , scoring 12 points ( 4 - 7 FG , 4 - 5 FT ) in 24 minutes . The Magic have been very good on the defensive side of the ball lately , but losing Payton will certainly affect those results should he be sidelined for an extended period of time . The Knicks were n't able to get a stop down the stretch , which led to their demise . They did however get an encouraging game from Lance Thomas , who matched his career high of 24 points - - which was also a season high - - while shooting a perfect 9 - of - 9 from the field ( 3 - 3 3Pt , 3 - 3 FT ) . Thomas has really come on in the month of December , averaging almost 12 points and a little over 20 minutes per game off the bench while having scored in double figures in six straight .
