“Taking the paint away was the biggest thing, not letting them get the easy layups like they did in the first half,” he said. “Really closing out and helping each other. That’s how we’re going to win games down he stretch.”

The Magic grabbed a 52-35 lead with the Heat shooting below 30% with 10 turnovers in the first 21 minutes. Butler and Adebayo rallied Miami late in the half and Max Strus hit a 3-pointer just before the halftime horn as the Heat pulled within 54-46.

Mo Wagner scored 10 straight points for the Magic late in the third period, and a dunk by Jonathan Isaac pushed Orlando’s lead to 12 early in the fourth. But after a dunk by Bol Bol put the Magic up 91-81, they scored only six points in the final 6:40 of regulation, and only six more in overtime.

“We had a couple lapses on both ends of the floor, but I think offensively we started to slow down a little and not play our style of basketball,” Fultz said. “We kind of let it stick a little bit. I think they turned up the heat and got a couple of calls to go their way as well.”

Suggs, Wendell Carter Jr., and Mo Wagner scored 14 points each for the Magic.

SUGGS SAT OUT THE OVERTIME

Suggs, who had four steals and three blocks for Orlando and generally wreaked havoc defensively, did not play in overtime.

“Gary (Harris) was defending Herro decently well,” explained Mosley while acknowledging that “we may have to go back and look at how we may have to get (Suggs) those minutes.”

Said Suggs, who played 28 minutes: “We realize how close we are, and we need wins in games like this. I kind of feel like we let ourselves down.”
