Bane's work on both ends helps Magic hold off Trail Blazers, 110-106
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) --- Desmond Bane scored 23 points, Anthony Black added 22
and the Orlando Magic turned back Portland's comeback attempt Tuesday night for
a 110-106 victory over the Trail Blazers.
After trailing by 17 in the third quarter, the Blazers took a one-point lead
early in the fourth before Tyus Jones answered with a 3-pointer and Wendell
Carter Jr. hit a jumper for the Magic.
Shaedon Sharpe had a chance to tie it with 38.9 seconds left but made only one
of two free throws, leaving Portland down 107-106.
Bane missed a pull-up jumper at the other end, then blocked a layup attempt by
7-foot-2 center Donovan Clingan with 12 seconds remaining to preserve the lead.
Bane sank two free throws to make it 109-106 and Deni Avdija missed a long 3
for the Trail Blazers before Black added a foul shot for the final margin.
