Orlando Magic vs Indiana Pacers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 31, 2025

The second quarter proved decisive in Orlando's 112–110 road win over Indiana, as combined scoring surged to 75 points in that frame—the game's highest-output period and a stark departure from what would become a defensive grind. The Magic leaned on Paolo Banchero's all-around dominance, the forward finishing with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Desmond Bane added 18 points and Anthony Black chipped in 15 points and 5 assists. For Indiana, Pascal Siakam led with 26 points and Bennedict Mathurin contributed 23 points, though neither could fully offset Orlando's efficiency in the periods that mattered most.

After a frenetic opening half that combined for 134 points, the pace collapsed entirely down the stretch. The second half produced just 88 combined points, with the third quarter dropping to 55 and the fourth quarter bottoming out at 33—a dramatic 55-point swing in scoring output. That defensive tightening sealed a one-possession outcome: Orlando edged Indianapolis by two in a contest that finished well short of expectations. The market had set the total at 229.5, but the final combined score of 222 fell 7.5 points below the line. DAGGER leaned under heading into tipoff, and the call cashed.
