The Magic held the Clippers to just 5-of-23 from three-point range. The game was tightly contested throughout, with 14 ties and 19 lead changes. With the score tied at 107, Bane connected on a layup with 1:26 left to give Orlando the edge. He later found Banchero on a fastbreak dunk to push the lead to four points with 40.4 seconds remaining. After a Leonard jumper and a defensive stop, the Clippers had a chance to tie or win on the final possession. However, a three-point attempt by Benedict Mathurin as time expired was off the mark and the Magic escaped with their first-ever win at Intuit Dome in Inglewood.

Magic player Desmond Bane on the win against the Clippers:  “I think it's huge. You know, last night was emotional. Double overtime game lost at the buzzer. I was telling some of the guys, like, I remember last year in Memphis we lost three games in a row like that and it kind of felt like that was like the backbreaker of our season just because [it’s] so emotional and you know, you're right there but you come out with a loss.   So, I'm really proud of our group. Thought we did it the way we wanted to do it — imposing our will, sitting down and guarding. So, it was good to see, personally.”
