The Orlando Magic defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 110–106 on December 23 at Moda Center in a defensive struggle that fell short of the 230.5-point Vegas total. Devin Bane led Orlando with 23 points while Anthony Black added 22, propelling the Magic's 111.0 offensive rating despite shooting just 43.5 percent from the field. Orlando's three-point barrage proved decisive—the Magic made 15 threes to Portland's 9—and their 26 assists on 48 field goals showcased efficient ball movement. Portland countered with Dario Avdija's 25 points and Sharpshooter Sharpe's 22, but the Trail Blazers' 17 turnovers and 104.6 offensive rating hampered their comeback bid. The second quarter proved pivotal, with Orlando outscoring Portland 38–29 to build a cushion they would not relinquish despite Portland's 30-point third quarter. Both teams prioritized perimeter defense, combining for 19 steals, though neither squad shot efficiently overall. Orlando's victory improves their postseason positioning as they continue leveraging three-point depth.
