PHOENIX (AP) --- Jalen Green hit a 3-pointer from the right corner at the
buzzer to give the Phoenix Suns a 113-110 double-overtime victory over the
Orlando Magic on Saturday.
After Jalen Carter tied it for Orlando with 1.1 seconds left with a corner 3,
Green hit all net from the corner as the horn sounded. Green struggled all game
until that final shot, making only 6 for 26 from the field and 2 of 6 free
throws. His winning basket was just his second successful 3 in 11 attempts.
Grayson Allen led Phoenix with 27 points after after missing four games because
of a sprained right ankle. He scored all seven of the Suns' points in the first
overtime. Collin Gillespie added 19 points, and Green had 16.
Desmond Bane had 34 points for Orlando on 12-of-18 shooting before fouling out
in the first minute of overtime. Paolo Banchero added 26 points and 14
rebounds. The Magic had won four of five.
The Suns played without Devin Booker, who is out for at least a week with a
right hip strain.
Dillon Brooks played just seven minutes before leaving with what the team said
was a left-hand injury. ESPN reported, citing sources, that Brooks' hand is
broken and that the forward will miss significant time. The team said it
wouldn't have an official update until Sunday.
The Magic scored the last six points of regulation, the last two on Anthony
Black's dunk with 57 seconds to play.
Jordan Goodwin scored 17 points off the bench for the Suns before hobbling off
the court in the fourth quarter with an apparent leg injury. Oso Ighodaro had
11 points and 12 rebounds for Phoenix.
Orlando tarting guard Jalen Suggs was sidelined by back spasms.
