ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Rookie Mario Hezonja dunked four seconds into his first NBA start, finishing with 13 points, and the Orlando Magic led all the way Sunday in a 130-116 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Nik Vucevic and Victor Oladipo scored 28 points each and Aaron Gordon added a career-high 22 for the Magic.

Jahlil Okafor scored 26 points for the 76ers, who lost their eighth straight.

Starting in place of injured forward Evan Fournier, Hezonja's game-opening baskets got the Magic off to an 11-0 start and they shot 65 percent (30-for-46) in dominating the first half.

Oladipo, Vucevic and Gordon all reached double figures in a 40-point first quarter, Orlando's highest-scoring quarter of the season.
