Magic 101, 76ers 90: Jameer Nelson scored 12 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter and dished out a dozen assists as Orlando pulled away from Philadelphia to snap a 16-game road losing streak.

Nikola Vucevic contributed 21 points and 13 rebounds while rookie Victor Oladipo chipped in with 17 points and 11 boards as the Magic improved to 4-27 away from home. Maurice Harkless and Tobias Harris added 13 points apiece for Orlando, which finished with 10 blocks and won on the road for the first time since Dec. 16.

The 76ers cut an 11-point deficit to six with 4:11 left, but Oladipo drained a 3-pointer and Doron Lamb (11 points) hit a short jumper to give the Magic the cushion they needed to seal it.

Sims’ dunk capped a 12-4 run that gave Philadelphia a seven-point lead late in the second quarter before it settled for a 44-40 edge at intermission. Orlando trailed by eight early in the third quarter before running off 23 of the next 31 – eight by Harkless – but the 76ers rallied to tie it at 67 going into the final 12 minutes.
