The Orlando Magic defeated the Miami Heat 117–108 on December 9 at Kia Center, with Devin Bane leading the way on 37 points and Jalen Suggs adding 20 in a balanced offensive effort. Orlando shot 50.6 percent from the field and connected on 15 three-pointers, controlling the game through the second quarter when they outscored Miami 39–27 to build separation. The Heat's Norman Powell and Tyler Herro each scored 20 points but couldn't overcome Miami's offensive inefficiency; the visitors shot just 45.2 percent and made only 8 three-pointers while turning the ball over just 8 times against Orlando's 16. The Magic's defensive rating of 105.5 proved decisive as Miami's offense stalled in the fourth quarter, scoring just 25 points and falling short of the 234.5 Vegas total line. Orlando's rebounding advantage of 47–39 and 30 assists provided the foundation for sustained pressure. The result strengthens Orlando's positioning in the Eastern Conference standings.
