Magic Come From Behind, Top Bulls In Overtime
The Orlando Magic defeated the Chicago Bulls, 114-108, at Amway Center on Saturday.

The Magic (29-24) woke up in the dying stages of the fourth quarter and managed to steal the win after overtime against a Bulls (25-28) team that dominated on long stretches of both the second and third quarters. The first half was extremely tight and neither team seemed to have a clear advantage over the other, though Orlando held a two-point lead. However, the Bulls started the second half with a different approach, and they jumped ahead after winning the third quarter by a 36-28 score. Orlando woke up before it was too late, however, and they limited Chicago to just 15 points in the final 12 minutes, which was enough to force overtime. The Magic were the better team in the final five minutes as well and outscored Chicago 13-7, enough to get the victory despite playing extra minutes. With the win, the Bulls moved to 10-16 on the road, while the Magic improved to 17-7 at home.

Franz Wagner recorded 36 points, five assists and three rebounds. Paolo Banchero recorded 19 points, seven rebounds and eight assists. Jalen Suggs had 13 points. Cole Anthony posted 14 points and 11 rebounds coming off the bench. The Magic shot 46.6 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three-point range.

Ayo Dosunmu posted 19 points, two rebounds and two assists. Coby White recorded 14 points, seven assists and four rebounds. Alex Caruso had nine points and eight rebounds.
