Magic Secure Playoff Spot with Dramatic Victory
Nail-Biting Finish Caps Off Exciting Playoff Race
In a game that had fans on the edge of their seats, the Orlando Magic clinched a playoff spot with a thrilling 114-112 victory over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night.
The game was a back-and-forth affair, with neither team able to gain a significant advantage. The Heat led by as many as 10 points in the second half, but the Magic refused to go away.
With the game tied at 112-112 with just seconds remaining, Cole Anthony hit a clutch jumper to give the Magic the lead. The Heat had a chance to tie the game, but Jimmy Butler's shot at the buzzer rimmed out, securing the victory for Orlando.
Anthony led the Magic with 24 points, while Franz Wagner added 21 points and Paolo Banchero had 19 points and 12 rebounds. For the Heat, Butler finished with a team-high 25 points, followed by Bam Adebayo with 18 points and 14 rebounds.
The victory was a huge one for the Magic, who clinched their first playoff berth since 2019. It was also a disappointing loss for the Heat, who finished the season one game out of the playoffs.
The Magic will now face the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the playoffs. The Heat will have to wait until next season to make another run at the championship.
