Gordon, Vucevic lift Magic

-

Aaron Gordon scored 20 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, Nikola Vucevic finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds and the Orlando Magic beat the Heat, 105-90, last night in Miami.

Terrence Ross added 19 off the bench for the Magic, who were 14 for 28 from 3-point range. Evan Fournier scored 13 and DJ Augustin had 11 for Orlando.

Justise Winslow scored 14 for Miami, which had won two straight — and still hasn’t had a three-game winning streak this season. Kelly Olynyk scored 13, Hassan Whiteside had 12 and Dwyane Wade and James Johnson each added 11 for the Heat.

Whiteside left the Heat bench with 40.5 seconds left and walked to the locker room. He didn’t play in the fourth quarter, and has been unhappy when that’s occurred in the past.

“Probably extremely upset, like we all are right now,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Lulls have doomed Miami all season, and a third-quarter one was the difference.
