Dallas had a 50-37 edge in bench scoring and a 13-2 advantage in second-chance points. Orlando Magic briefly tied the game early in the third quarter on a 3-pointer by Evan Fournier, but the guard left the floor for several minutes after aggravating groin and back injuries that have bothered him all season. Dallas took advantage and pushed its lead to as much as 13 points in the period.
