Fournier and Vucevic scored 24 & 15 respectively for Orlando in this game, but it was Terrence Ross's 19 points off 8-of-9 shooting from the field that made the difference in the result. The 6-year veteran is averaging 15.6 points per game across the last ten games, playing almost 28 minutes every game on an average.

The backup shooting guard got the Magic bench out of their seats with a pivotal 3-pointer in the second half. Terrence scored seven points in the fourth quarter helping the Magic seal the deal in Mexico, despite the team committing 22 turnovers, 15 of which came in the first half.

This was Ross's highest score in December(past 6 games), with his season-high total of 28 coming last month in a 110-116 loss to the Warriors.
