Magic Take Control in Fourth to Beat Hornets in Jalen Suggs’ Return

The Lead

Moe Wagner scored a season-best 26 points, rookie Jalen Suggs recorded 12 points, six rebounds and seven assists in his highly anticipated return, and the Orlando Magic used a 15-2 run to start the fourth quarter to seize momentum and eventually pull away for a 116-109 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night at Spectrum Center.

Clutch Moments

The Wagner brothers took over down the stretch. First, Franz fired a missile to older brother Moe for a layup that put Orlando up six with 5:08 left. From there, Franz’s finesse was on display, as he evaded defenders with his advanced footwork for a pair of floaters.
