Magic's D.J. Augustin: Leads comeback with 18 off bench Saturday

Augustin scored 18 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) while adding six assists and two rebounds in 30 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 95-87 win over the Mavericks.

Analysis:

He scored 10 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Magic to a come-from-behind victory, exploiting Dallas rookie Jonathan Gibson off the dribble time and again. The 30 minutes were a season high for Augustin, as Orlando coach Frank Vogel stuck with the hot hand down the stretch at point guard, but on most nights Augustin will be firmly behind Elfrid Payton in the pecking order.
