MIAMI — The Magic have the Heat’s number this season. Five times, the in-state rivals have faced off this year. All five times, the Magic picked up the win.

Saturday was no different, as Orlando took down Miami, 121-117, at the Kaseya Center despite a late comeback attempt form the home team. The loss snapped the Heat’s seven-game winning streak. Orlando (38-28) controlled the game from the first quarter until the final few minutes.

The Magic got off to a quick start, taking a 14-5 lead in the game’s first four minutes. Orlando rolled through the first quarter, shooting 70% from the field en route to a 41-27 lead after 12 minutes. The story was the same through the second quarter, as Jalen Suggs and ex-Miami guard Jamal Cain finished the half with 14 and 12 points, respectively.
