The Orlando Magic edged the Portland Trail Blazers 115–112 on November 10 at Kia Center in a defensive struggle that came down to closing execution. Paolo Banchero led Orlando with 28 points, supported by Desmond Bane's 22, while the Magic shot 44.8 percent from the field and made just 8 three-pointers en route to 26 assists. Portland countered with Shaedon Sharpe's 31 points and Donovan Avdija's 27, leaning on perimeter shooting with 13 made threes on 44.4 percent overall accuracy. The Trail Blazers dominated the fourth quarter with 36 points but couldn't overcome a slow third quarter (20 points) and Orlando's second-quarter surge (33 points). Orlando's defense limited turnovers to 13 while forcing Portland into just 8, though the Magic's defensive rating of 113.8 and offensive rating of 110.6 reflected the tightness throughout. Portland's 38 rebounds to Orlando's 50 proved costly in a two-possession outcome. The narrow victory keeps Orlando competitive in the Eastern Conference race while Portland's late-game firepower suggests ongoing offensive potential despite the loss.
