Despite leading by 8 with less than 90 seconds to play on Saturday, the Magic found themselves on the wrong side of the ledger when the overtime siren finally sounded, dropping a 114-110 result that will stand as one of their toughest losses of the season.
The game started at a blistering pace, with the two teams combining for 24 field goal attempts in the game’s first five minutes. Early advantages from deep (3-4) and the free-throw line (5-5) allowed the Kings to play from in front, but the Magic were able to reel them back in courtesy of Mo Bamba (8 points and 5 rebounds) and Franz Wagner (7 points courtesy of aggressive drives).
