Orlando Magic Make Historic Comeback to Defeat Miami Heat

The Magic overcame a 22-point fourth-quarter deficit to secure a franchise-record rally and hand the Heat their third straight loss.

  • The Orlando Magic scored 37 points in the fourth quarter, holding the Miami Heat to just eight, to win 121-114 after trailing by 22 points at the start of the period.
  • The comeback tied the largest in Magic history and marked the first time since 2019 that an NBA team overcame a 22-point fourth-quarter deficit to win.
  • Magic guard Cole Anthony led the charge with a season-high 35 points and nine assists, including 13 points in the decisive final quarter.
  • The Heat, missing star player Jimmy Butler due to illness, saw their offensive production collapse in the fourth quarter, shooting just 11.1% from the field and committing five turnovers.
  • The loss drops the Heat to a 13-13 record, with coach Erik Spoelstra calling the game a tough lesson in maintaining focus and execution through all four quarters.
