PHOENIX — Jalen Green hit a 3-pointer from the right corner at the buzzer to give the Phoenix Suns a 113-110 double-overtime victory over the Orlando Magic on Saturday.
After Jevon Carter tied it for Orlando with 1.1 seconds left with a corner 3, Green hit all net from the corner as the horn sounded. Green struggled all game until that final shot, making only 6 of 26 from the field and 2 of 6 free throws. His winning basket was just his second successful 3 in 11 attempts.
Grayson Allen led Phoenix with 27 points after missing four games because of a sprained right ankle. He scored all seven of the Suns’ points in the first overtime. Collin Gillespie added 19 points, and Green had 16.
Desmond Bane had 34 points for Orlando on 12-of-18 shooting before fouling out in the first minute of overtime. Paolo Banchero added 26 points and 14 rebounds. The Magic had won four of five.
The Suns played without Devin Booker, who is out for at least a week because of a right hip strain. Dillon Brooks played just seven minutes before leaving with what sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania was a broken left hand.
The Magic scored the last six points of regulation, the last two on Anthony Black’s dunk with 57 seconds to play.
Jordan Goodwin scored 17 points off the bench for the Suns before hobbling off the court in the fourth quarter because of an apparent leg injury. Oso Ighodaro had 11 points and 12 rebounds for Phoenix.
Orlando starting guard Jalen Suggs was sidelined because of back spasms.
