The game between the San Antonio Spurs and Orlando Magic will take place at AT&T Center on Tuesday, March 14 at 8:00 PM ET.
The San Antonio Spurs will welcome the Orlando Magic to AT&T Center for an NBA game on Tuesday. The San Antonio Spurs lost 90-102 in their last game over the Thunder. San Antonio’s Zach Collins had 23 points and 11 rebounds for his ninth career double-double. Devonte’ Graham added 20 points.
The Spurs, who shot 10 for 35 on 3-pointers, were without Keldon Johnson, Jeremy Sochan and Tre Jones, and lost Malaki Branham to injury midway through the second quarter. Losing four of their top ball-handlers resulted in the Spurs committing 18 turnovers. The Thunder only shot 38 percent from the field but had five players score in double figures.
“When everybody is scoring, it makes us harder to guard,” Williams said. “Regardless of how we shot, we were able to move the ball really well, especially in key moments of the game.” The Thunder went on a 14-0 run bridging the first and second quarters after Sandro Mamukelashvili cut their lead to 22-19 with a cutting layup. Dieng had six points in the run that spanned just over four minutes.
The Orlando Magic on the other hand won 126-114 against the Heat in their last game. Wendell Carter Jr. had 27 points and 11 rebounds and the Orlando Magic bounced back from a fourth-quarter collapse to beat the Miami Heat 126-114 in overtime Saturday night. Jimmy Butler scored 38 points for the Heat, including 15 in the final six minutes of the fourth quarter when Miami overcame a 15-point deficit.
Butler’s 3-pointer at the buzzer of regulation sent the game to overtime. But the Magic outscored Miami 18-6 in the extra session. “Being able to withstand their run and shake back, after what they did late in the fourth and the buzzer-beater after they got all the momentum, that’s big-time for us,” said Jalen Suggs, who had 16 points and four steals for Orlando.
For Magic coach Jamahl Mosley, the win reminded him of the last Miami-Orlando meeting — a 107-103 Heat OT win on Feb. 11. Only this time, his young team found a way. “I’m more proud of the fact that we were in the exact same scenario the last time we played them and we didn’t fold,” Mosley said. “We gained and learned from the experience from last time, and that shows the growth of a young team.”
