Magic stumble in second half as Jazz pull away

The Orlando Magic were hoping to be the first team to beat the Utah Jazz this season when trailing after three quarters.

The Magic took a small bite out of a double-digit lead early in the fourth quarter but couldn’t gain any traction after that and took a 124-109 loss Saturday against the Jazz in front of 4,242 at Amway Center.

Orlando (13-21) can take some solace in a lopsided loss to Utah. The Jazz entered Saturday’s game leading the NBA in net rating (+9.7) and now have 14 victories of 15 points or more. They also improved to 24-0 this season when leading after the third quarter.
