ORLANDO, FLA. >> Nikola Vucevic had 36 points and 13 rebounds, D.J. Augustin added 22 points and the Orlando Magic beat the Los Angeles Lakers 130-117 on Saturday night.

Vucevic scored 24 points in the second half as Orlando led by as many as 21 and ended the Lakers’ four-game winning streak.

Evan Fournier had 15 points and Terrence Ross scored 13 for the Magic, who have won four of five.

The Lakers got 22 points from LeBron James, 19 from Lance Stephenson and 17 from Brandon Ingram, but were down 15 early in the second half and never got closer than a 10-point deficit in the fourth.

James averaged 29.8 points on 55.1 percent shooting during the win streak, but wasn’t much of a factor against the Magic.

RAPTORS 122, BULLS 83 >> Fred VanVleet scored 18 points, Danny Green added 17 and Serge Ibaka had 16 points and four blocks, sending shorthande­d Toronto to a rout of Chicago, snapping a three-game losing streak. ROCKETS 133, KINGS 112 >> James Harden had 34 points and eight assists, and Houston used a big first-half run on the way to its fourth straight victory, a win over Sacramento. JAZZ 98, CELTICS 86 >> Donovan Mitchell had 28 points and six assists, bouncing back from one of his worst performanc­es of the season and leading Utah to a win over Boston.

Mitchell took 35 shots and did not record an assist in Friday night’s 113107

loss at Philadelph­ia. He was far more efficient against Boston, going

10 for 21 from the field.

PACERS 97, HAWKS 89 >> Bojan Bogdanovic scored 22 points, Darren Collison had 12 points and five assists, and Indiana beat Atlanta. PELICANS 125, NUGGETS 115 >> Anthony Davis scored 40 points and led New Orleans over Denver.
