The Orlando Magic are on top once again after the Utah Jazz folded in the fourth quarter.
With 2:03 left in the fourth quarter, Jalen Suggs hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 115. Suggs grabbed the rebound on the ensuing possession, but the Magic couldn't take the lead. Jazz guard John Konchar dunked the ball with just over a minute to go to retake the lead.
However, Konchar fouled his former Memphis Grizzlies teammate Desmond Bane to put him back on the free throw line. Bane split his free throws, keeping the Magic down by a point. Suggs was able to steal the ball from Jazz point guard Isaiah Collier, leading to a Bane fast break opportunity, but he was fouled and sent to the free throw line again, where he made both of his free throws this time around to take a lead with 28.3 seconds left on the clock. It was the Magic's first lead since there was 7:27 left in the second quarter. Wendell Carter Jr. blocked Brice Sensabaugh's shot that would have put the Jazz back in the lead. Suggs came away with another deflection on the in-bounds pass to put the ball back in Orlando's hands. Suggs made both of his free throws to take a three-point lead. The Jazz had one last chance to tie the game, but Collier missed the potential game-winner, giving the Magic the victory.
