15-year Orlandoversary: Magic overcome Wade’s 48 to rally past Heat in OT

NBA franchises from the Sunshine State since the late-1980s, the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat have played many classic contests against one another over the years.

One that went Orlando’s way came on this day 15 years ago. The Magic overcame a seven-point deficit with less than two minutes remaining in regulation before ultimately topping the Heat in overtime, 121-114.

The Magic had led most of the night at AmericanAirlines Arena on Dec. 28, 2007. A 13-1 run by Miami in the final quarter, however, gave the Heat a 92-85 advantage.

The seven-point lead remained as the clock ticked under two minutes.
