Magic 119, Kings 114: Victor Oladipo finished with 32 points and season highs of 10 assists and five steals as host Orlando snapped a four-game slide.

Channing Frye hit 6-of-9 3-pointers en route to a season-high 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Magic, who hit 13-of-24 from beyond the arc. Tobias Harris added 19 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer in the final minute, and Elfrid Payton had 10 points and a career high-tying 12 assists.

The Kings claimed their first lead at 100-99 on a 3-pointer by Nik Stauskas midway through the fourth quarter and Gay's three-point play with 2:52 left put Sacramento up 106-105, but Oladipo answered with a layup and Frye nailed his sixth 3-pointer for a 110-106 lead with 1:26 to go. Five straight free throws put the Kings back on top before Harris hit a corner 3 with 28.9 seconds left to put Orlando ahead 113-111, and Frye and Harris combined to make six foul shots in the closing moments to seal it.

Oladipo scored seven points in a 49-second span as part of a 13-point first quarter as Orlando raced to a 35-26 lead. Frye hit three 3-pointers in the second to help the Magic push their advantage to 68-57 at halftime and then hit a jumper to cap a 10-3 run out of the break, but Sacramento rallied to within six entering the fourth.
