The Indiana Pacers received important contributions from their whole roster in a dominant 123-102 team victory over the much-maligned Orlando Magic on Monday night.

The Pacers started strong in this one, racing out to an early eight-point lead in the first quarter. After a Magic surge in the late first and early second quarter, the Pacers retook the lead halfway through the second frame, and never gave it back to the Magic.

Indiana was particularly potent offensively, penetrating the lane and scoring with ease despite a rough three-point shooting night throughout. In the second half, the Pacers extended their lead, which ballooned to 25 in the fourth quarter, as the Magic never got a chance to push for a comeback victory.

Let’s take a look at the three stats that show how the Pacers beat the Magic.
