The Magic pull off another big comeback, this time from 21 points down to beat the Nets

Associated Press  

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Magic did it again. Down by 21 early in the third quarter, down by 15 entering the fourth and still down by 15 with six minutes remaining, the short-handed Orlando Magic closed the game on a 22-4 run to beat the Brooklyn Nets 102-101 on Sunday. Anthony’s layup with 1.3 seconds left was the winner for the Magic, who are playing without Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Moritz Wagner. “That’s what you saw tonight.” It was the sixth time in the NBA this season that a team has won after trailing by at least 21 points — and Orlando has two of those victories. So, when you step on the floor and you play for the Orlando Magic, this is how you’re going to play.” Anthony’s winner was on a bit of a broken play.
