Aaron Holiday bombed in a tie-breaking 3-pointer with 8.7 seconds remaining Saturday night, giving the host Indiana Pacers a 111-106 victory over the Orlando Magic in a battle of injury-plagued teams. Holiday then missed a jumper with 21.9 seconds to go, but Myles Turner retrieved the rebound for the Pacers and Holiday didn’t misfire on his second opportunity, nailing his difference-maker. The Magic had a chance to tie, but Justin Holiday stole the ball from Evan Fournier and was fouled, making two clinching free throws with 3.6 seconds left. Jeremy Lamb went for 14 points, Doug McDermott and Aaron Holiday 13 apiece, Justin Holiday 12 and Turner 10 for Indiana, which outshot Orlando 54.4 percent to 46.7. Augustin 11 and Terrence Ross 10 for the Magic, who led by as many as seven in the first quarter.
