Paolo Banchero collected 23 points, eight assists and seven rebounds to fuel the host Orlando Magic to a 120-117 victory over the Utah Jazz on Saturday.
Desmond Bane scored 22 points to fluster the Jazz for the second time this season. He erupted for 32 points in Orlando's 128-127 overtime victory over Utah in Salt Lake City on Dec. 20.
Anthony Black had 21 points on Saturday for the Magic, who overcame a 17-point deficit to record their second straight win and fourth in their last six games.
Utah's Lauri Markkanen scored 27 points and Jaren Jackson Jr. added 22 in his debut with his new team. The latter was acquired by the Jazz in an eight-player trade with the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday.
Isaiah Collier recorded 20 points and 10 assists and Kevin Love added 13 points for the Jazz, who have lost 18 of their last 22 games.
Utah's Keyonte George scored five points before exiting the contest in the second quarter with a right ankle sprain. He had just returned from a three-game absence due to a left ankle sprain.
Jalen Suggs sank a 3-pointer to forge a 115-115 tie before new addition John Konchar made a layup with 1:06 remaining in the fourth quarter to regain the lead for the Jazz.
Bane halved the deficit with a free throw and sank two more to give Orlando a 118-117 lead with 28.3 seconds to play. Suggs stole the ball with 15.2 seconds left and added two more free throws before Collier's long-range 3-pointer was off the mark.
Orlando extended its lead to 17 at 94-77 following a 12-1 run in the third quarter, with Love scoring seven points during that surge. The Magic, however, responded with a 30-13 run to forge a tie at 107-107 after Wendell Carter Jr. sank a pair of free throws with 4:52 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Black's dunk brought Orlando within one at 51-50 with 5:03 remaining in the second before Utah responded with a 14-4 surge to end the quarter. The Jazz outscored the Magic by a 35-21 margin in the second quarter.
