Desmond Bane scored 18 points and Franz Wagner added 17 for Orlando (44-36), which moved into seventh place in the tight Eastern Conference standings, one-half game ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers (43-36) with two games remaining. Goga Bitadze had 14 points and a season-high 15 rebounds, Tristan da Silva added 12 points, and Jalen Suggs and Jevon Carter finished with 11 apiece.

Jason Beede: FINAL (OT): #Magic 136, Wizards 131 About as ugly as they come for Orlando, but it wins its sixth in a row behind 28 points from Jalen Suggs, 26 from Tristan da Silva and 22 from Desmond Bane.
Jason Beede: FINAL: #Magic 128, Cavs 122 Desmond Bane scores 35 points, Paolo Banchero notched 25 and Tristan da Silva adds 23. Orlando has won five in a row and returns to Kia Center tomorrow night against Cleveland.
Jason Beede: The way the #Magic out-rebounded Minnesota 58-37 really stood out to me. Paolo Banchero led the team with 15 boards, but four others (WCJ, M. Wagner, TDS and Penda) had at least six rebounds. Overall, 10 players grabbed at least two for Orlando.
Jason Beede: FINAL: #Magic 115, Mavs 114 Orlando survives in the closing moments and Dallas can't get a shot off. Tristan da Silva scores 19 off the bench, Jalen Suggs adds 17, Paolo Banchero with 16 and Wendell Carter Jr. with the winner and 15 points.
