INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- Mike Dunleavy and Danny Granger combined to make four free throws in the final 13 seconds Friday night to preserve the Indiana Pacers' 107-102 win over Orlando.

Orlando overcame a 12-point deficit late in the third period to tie the game with 8:20 to play. The Pacers, however, outplayed the Magic down the stretch to down Orlando for the first time in six tries this season.

Granger scored 33 points and made all 12 of his foul shots to help Indiana snap a three-game losing streak. T.J. Ford added 21 points and Troy Murphy had 20 and eight rebounds.

Orlando, the runaway leader in the Southeast Division, has lost two in a row. Dwight Howard had 21 points and 20 rebounds to lead the Magic, Hedo Turkoglu had 20 points and J.J. Redick produced 17 off the bench.
