ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Victor Oladipo scored a season-high 24 points, Nik Vucevic added 22 points and 12 rebounds and the Orlando Magic beat the New York Knicks 100-91 on Wednesday night.
Tobias Harris had 17 points and 10 rebounds as Orlando stopped a two-game losing streak. Elfrid Payton finished with 12 points and 11 assists.
Carmelo Anthony had 28 points and 13 rebounds, but the Knicks placed only four players in double figures. Jose Calderon scored 23 points as New York shot just 37.3 percent from the field.
The Magic struggled offensively as well but got enough from Oladipo, who shook off Kristaps Porzingis' big block of one of his shots and scored six points during a 13-4 run that made it 89-74.
