Analysis:

Moore had one of his best performances in weeks, despite ceding court time to Maurice Harkless for only the second time in seven outings. Moore appears to have gained the upper hand over Harkless as the Magic's sixth man, but neither player has taken control of the competition. Last season, Moore was often used as the backup when starting point guard Jameer Nelson was injured, but Nelson's availability has been unrelated to Moore's increased run during this recent stretch.
