NOTES: Orlando was without C Nikola Vucevic (groin), G Elfrid Payton (elbow) and G Brandon Jennings (Achilles tendon). Vucevic has missed the last four games; coach Scott Skiles said he is day to day. … The Magic beat the Blazers 102-94 at Orlando on Dec. 18, “but they’re a completely different team now,” Skiles said. “They were still just figuring it out. They were 11-17 at that point. They’ve totally turned their season around. They’ve really done a nice job the last couple of months.” … In its last 33 games, Portland is 19-1 while leading at halftime and 2-11 when trailing after two quarters. … The Blazers have made at least 10 3-point shots in seven straight games, tying a franchise record. … The Magic were on the last stop on a four-game road trip.
