Magic 105, 76ers 94: Nikola Vucevic scored 21 points on 10-of-13 shooting and added 16 rebounds, five assists and three blocks as Orlando notched a home victory over Philadelphia.

Vucevic was the 76ers' first-round pick in 2011 before getting shipped to the Magic prior to last season in a four-team trade that also included Dwight Howard, Andrew Bynum and Andre Iguodala. The 23-year-old burned his former team with his ninth double-double of the season, while Glen Davis added 19 points for Orlando.

Thaddeus Young led Philadelphia with 26 points off the bench while Michael Carter-Williams had 23. Evan Turner chipped in 17 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists for the 76ers, who have lost 10 of their last 13 games following their surprising 3-0 start.

Vucevic made all eight of his shots en route to 17 points and 10 rebounds in the first half. The Magic led 55-50 at the break, although the 76ers scored the final 10 points of the half - including eight points by Young in the final three minutes.

The pivotal sequence of the fourth quarter came in the final five minutes, as the Magic turned a 90-87 lead into a commanding 100-90 advantage thanks to seven points from Arron Afflalo and a big 3-pointer by rookie Victor Oladipo. Afflalo scored 11 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter, while Oladipo also finished with 18.
