The Orlando Magic ( 17 - 12 ) survived a back - and - forth fourth quarter to take home the victory Wednesday night at the Amway Center , 104 - 101 over the Houston Rockets ( 15 - 15 ) . Evan Fournier hit the go - ahead bucket to give the Magic a 102 - 101 lead with 14 seconds left to end a raucous comeback attempt from the Rockets . Down by 13 to begin the fourth , Houston rallied behind 10 points and three assists from star James Harden to take a 101 - 100 lead with just 26 seconds to go , their first lead since the second quarter . But it was short - lived , and two late Rockets three - point attempts went begging to seal the deal . The Magic brought a balanced attack , as six players finished in double figures . Nikola Vucevic led Orlando with 21 ( 10 - 16 shooting ) . Tobias Harris scored 19 points on an ultra - efficient 8 - 10 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds . Aaron Gordon came off the bench to score 14 in just 12 minutes . The Magic shot the lights out as a team , finishing at 52 percent from the field and a sharp 44 percnet from three - point land . Harden scored 31 to lead all scorers on a sharp 12 - 18 shooting , and he also led the Rockets with seven assists . Harden did n't get much help , as the team 's next high scorer was Dwight Howard with 12 points to go with seven rebounds and three blocks . Ty Lawson came off the bench to score 11 points on 4 - 6 shooting and dish three assists , his first double - digit scoring effort since December 2 against New Orleans . The Rockets were sunk by an inability to hit from deep - - they finished just 24 percent ( 7 - 29 ) from three - point land . The Rockets had a three - game winning streak snapped by the loss and will look to right the ship Friday at home against the Spurs . The Magic improved to a robust 10 - 5 at home and will look to keep that success going with another home date Saturday against the Heat .
