With the Magic still in playoff contention, they welcomed the Atlanta Hawks to Orlando in what was essentially a must-win encounter.

However, that pressure essentially served as inspiration for Nikola Vucevic, who had a monster night, leading the Magic to a 10-point victory.

Vucevic finished with 27 points on 10-20 shooting from the field - 17 of those came in the first eight minutes of the game as he got the Magic off to an electric start. He also made all 7 of his free throw attempts. Vucevic was a beast on the glass, grabbing 20 rebounds, making him the first Orlando player since, well, himself in 2014, to finish with over 20 points and 20 rebounds in a game.

Over the course of the game, Vucevic also recorded his seventh career 20-point/20-rebound game and his ninth career 20+ rebound encounter.

Vucevic was the Magic's MVP over the duration of the season and it was performances such as these that ensured Orlando snuck into the playoffs.
