Orlando rallies to beat Golden St.

MAGIC 130, WARRIORS 129

ORLANDO, FLA. >> The Orlando Magic’s season-long seven- game homestand couldn’t have come at a better time.

Especially with their road woes, most recently blowing an 11-point fourthquarter lead in a loss to the Thunder in Oklahoma City on Tuesday, to remain winless in away games.

The homestand couldn’t have started better, kicking it off with a 130-129 win over the Golden State Warriors Thursday at Amway Center, with the Magic closing out a tight game successfully for the first time.

After playing six of their first eight games on the road, the Magic appreciate staying in Orlando and playing at Amway Center for the next two weeks.

“Our fans will continue to push us, support us because these guys are doing the right things, playing the right way,” coach Jamahl Mosley said pregame. “Just to have that support and energy is going to be great for these guys to get into that home routine.”

Jalen Suggs led the Magic with 26 points, nine assists and four steals, including a pull-up 3-pointer with 37.7 seconds remaining to give Orlando a 129-126 lead. He knocked down a free throw to give the Magic a 130-126 lead with 31 1/2 seconds left.

Klay Thompson ( 27 points) buried a heavily contested 3 to reduce the Warriors’ deficit to 130-129 and Paolo Banchero turned the ball over on the ensuing possession to give Golden State the final possession with 4.9 seconds left. But the Magic (2-7) held on for their first clutch win after Thompson missed a floater at the buzzer.

Banchero finished with 22 points, eight rebounds and three assists.

R. J. Hampton added 15 points (4- of- 6 shooting, 3 of 5 on 3s) and Kevon Harris had 12 points (4 of 7, 2 of 3) and five rebounds off the bench.

Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 39 points and nine assists.
