Orlando's Paolo Banchero scored 31 points and led the Magic to a 133–124 victory over Miami at Kaseya Center on January 28, with teammate Aaron Black adding 26 points in a decisive third-quarter performance. The Magic dominated the third period 40–20, a 20-point swing that proved decisive despite both teams shooting 50% from the field overall. Orlando's ball movement was exceptional—36 assists on 50% shooting—while Miami managed just 27 assists despite connecting on 15 three-pointers. The Magic's defense was suffocating, holding Miami to a 124.9 defensive rating and forcing 12 steals compared to Miami's six, though Orlando committed only 7 turnovers to the Heat's 18. The game fell short of the 232.5-point Vegas total, finishing at 257 combined points. Fontecchio (23 points) and Powell (22 points) led Miami's effort, but the Heat's 124.9 offensive rating proved insufficient. Orlando's third-quarter explosion and turnover discipline suggest the Magic are building consistency as they push toward the playoff race.
