ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) --- Desmond Bane scored 18 of his 37 points in the fourth

night.
Bane made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 3:23 left, sparking an 8-0 run for the
Magic. He also capped the decisive sequence with a foul shot that made it
117-111 with 2:11 to go.
Bane was 12 for 17 from the field. He also had six rebounds and five assists.
