Brice Sensabaugh Leads Short-Handed Jazz to Victory Over Magic
Utah Jazz secure back-to-back wins with strong performances from Sensabaugh and key role players against depleted Orlando Magic lineup.
- Brice Sensabaugh scored 27 points off the bench, following up his career-high 34-point performance the previous night, to propel the Utah Jazz to a 105-92 victory over the Orlando Magic.
- Both teams were missing several top scorers due to injuries, with the Magic notably without Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and Jalen Suggs, while the Jazz lacked Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, and Jordan Clarkson.
- Orlando's Jett Howard delivered a career-high 21 points off the bench, but the Magic struggled offensively, shooting just 35.7% from the field and 29.8% from three-point range.
- Utah dominated the paint with 52 points and strong rebounding efforts, including Walker Kessler’s 17 rebounds, while Sensabaugh hit five three-pointers to extend the Jazz's lead in the second half.
- The loss leaves Orlando at 21-16, with a quick turnaround as they face the New York Knicks on Monday night, while Utah improves to 9-25 with a rare winning streak this season.
