Pacers 95, Magic 73: Tyler Hansbrough had 14 points and a career-high 14 rebounds as host Indiana rolled to its second straight easy win.
Hansbrough had nine of his boards on the offensive end while making his second straight start in place of David West (back). Paul George scored a game-high 19 points, Gerald Green had 15 and George Hill added 14 for the Pacers, who had a 63-42 rebounding advantage.
Arron Afflalo and Moe Harkless were the only Orlando players to score in double figures. They had 10 points apiece as the Magic fell for the 37th time in 43 games.
Orlando actually led by five late in the first quarter but went the final 5:07 of the frame without a point and nearly five minutes of the second without a basket as Indiana opened up a 42-29 halftime lead.
George had a three-point play with 4:47 left in the third that began a 7-0 burst aided by the ejection of Magic coach Jacque Vaughn. Another 7-0 Pacers surge, capped by a Hill 3-pointer, began the fourth to make it 76-55 and Indiana cruised to its second rout of the Magic in 12 days.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Orlando shot 26.1 percent in the first half, with the starters shooting 7-for-36 (19.4 percent). ... The Pacers outscored the Magic by 51 points in their two March meetings and won both ends of a back-to-back Monday and Tuesday by a combined 43 points. ... Vaughn was ejected when he argued a double-technical call on Orlando F Kyle O'Quinn and Indiana C Roy Hibbert.
