Magic Spoil Cooper Flagg's Return in Stunning Finish

The Orlando Magic are exhaling after a 115-114 victory against the Dallas Mavericks inside the Kia Center.

With two minutes left to go in the game, Tristan da Silva hit his fourth three-pointer of the game to take a one-point lead. Mavericks forward Khris Middleton responded with a bucket on the other end to retake the lead.

da Silva hit a floater on the other end to yank the lead right back from the Mavs, but Daniel Gafford hit another shot to make it a one-point lead for Dallas. Wendell Carter Jr. couldn't make a putback to get the lead back, but No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg was able to make his shot on a three-point play to make it a two-possession game with 37.3 seconds to go.

Magic guard Jalen Suggs managed to make it a one-point game with a 3-pointer on the next possession, forcing the Mavs to make a bucket. Flagg had a chance to ice the game with a mid-range jumper, but it missed and the Magic grabbed a rebound.

Jamahl Mosley had a chance to call a timeout, but he opted not to, trusting his team to find the right play. Suggs found Carter Jr. on a cut in the lane and he slammed it home to retake the lead with 1.4 seconds to go.

On the final shot, the Mavs put it in the hands of Flagg, but he couldn't grab the inbounds pass, ending in a Magic victory.
