Evan Fournier and Nikola Vucevic scored 29 points apiece and combined for 20 in the decisive third quarter as the Orlando Magic pulled away from the host Atlanta Hawks for a 122-103 victory on Monday afternoon.

Playing for a second consecutive game without Aaron Gordon, out with a sore back, the Magic fell behind by as many as nine points in the first quarter before dominating the final three periods en route to snapping a three-game losing streak.

Fournier complemented his points with seven assists, while Vucevic completed a double-double with a game-high 14 rebounds.

Terrence Ross also accumulated seven assists to go with 16 points for the Magic, who were opening a three-day, two-game trip. D.J. Augustin chipped in with 15 points.

Dewayne Dedmon matched his career highs of 24 points and five 3-pointers for Atlanta. Trae Young added 21 for the Hawks, who were playing without Kevin Huerter, a late scratch with a sore neck.

John Collins had a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double for Atlanta, which lost its second straight, while Jeremy Lin had 15 points and DeAndre' Bembry 11 points to go with a team-high seven assists.

Orlando led just 60-57 at halftime before Fournier and Vucevic completed three-point plays on consecutive possessions to help the visitors build as much as a 13-point lead by third quarter's end.

The Magic outscored the Hawks 31-21 in the period, with Fournier (11 points) and Vucevic (nine) nearly equaling Atlanta's total by themselves.

Fournier had two 3-pointers in the quarter, while Vucevic added a third.

Atlanta got no closer than eight in the final period.

The Magic outshot the Hawks 50.5 percent to 45.3. Orlando made 11 of 29 from 3-point range, while Atlanta made 9 of 30.

Orlando connected on 19 of 21 free-throw attempts. The Hawks were just 16 of 23.
