Magic 109, Hawks 102: Arron Afflalo had 21 points and seven assists as host Orlando won its second straight game.

Afflalo went 7-of-10 from the field for the Magic, who shot 55.4 percent to improve to 2-3 on their six-game homestand. Tobias Harris had 17 points, Nikola Vucevic added 16 points and 14 rebounds and Glen Davis also scored 16 in the win.

Jeff Teague led the way with 22 points and Louis Williams had 18 for the Hawks, who were beaten up inside in their second game without All-Star center Al Horford (torn pec). Paul Millsap added 17 points while Shelvin Mack had 14 off the bench.

Vucevic's six-point, eight-rebound opening quarter was the difference as Orlando seized a 26-20 advantage. Afflalo pushed the Magic advantage to double digits near the halfway point of the second quarter with a long jumper near the end of the shot clock, and Orlando survived a late Atlanta run spurred by a long 3-pointer from Williams to lead 56-49 entering the break.

Atlanta whittled the deficit down throughout the third quarter, finally making it a one-possession game on Mack's buzzer-beating 3-pointer off Pero Antic's feed. The Hawks briefly jumped ahead near the midway point of the fourth, but a two-handed fastbreak slam from Victor Oladipo keyed a 9-0 run that moved the Magic ahead 93-85 and they held on from there.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Kyle Korver connected on a 25-footer from the left wing 2:08 into the second quarter to extend his streak of consecutive games with at least one 3-pointer to a league-record 100. ... Orlando held a 28-6 first-half advantage in points in the paint and finished with a 46-26 edge. ... Vucevic recorded his 16th double-double of the season, second in the Eastern Conference to Detroit's Andre Drummond (22).
