ORLANDO, Fla. -- It's no secret that Orlando's current rebuilding process will lean heavily on its ability to develop and get production from its younger players.

 

After nearly a month of swallowing bitter lessons during a season-worst string of losses, the Magic's youth played a big role in helping them finally break out of their haze.

 

J.J. Redick scored 22 points, and Nikola Vucevic added 17 points and 19 rebounds as Orlando snapped a 12-game losing streak with a 110-104 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night.

 

The Magic shot 50 percent from the field in earning their first win since Jan. 16. Jameer Nelson added 10 points and a career-high 15 assists, and reserve Gustavo Ayon also tied a career-high with 16 points to go along with 11 rebounds for the Magic.

 

"When teams made runs over the last X-amount of games, we kind of shut down a little bit," Nelson said. "Tonight we didn't, we were up and they cut it to three or four. We just kept playing our game. We played well enough to win tonight."

 

LaMarcus Aldridge led Portland with 25 points. Nicolas Batum added 19 points and Wesley Matthews chipped in 17.
