Magic 123, Grizzlies 119: Magic rally for overtime win over shorthanded Grizzlies

It took much longer than expected - 48 minutes and 55 seconds, to be exact - but the Magic finally did take the lead over the what was essentially the Grizzlies’ second unit.

Orlando, which trailed by 17 points in the third, managed to force overtime and then held off the hot-shooting Grizzlies in a back-and-forth extra session to earn a 123-119 win.

It was the Magic’s largest comeback victory of the season, giving them a fourth straight win. They have now won six straight home game for the first time since January of 2011.

But it wasn’t easy, to say the least.
