Clippers Top Magic, 111-102
The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Orlando Magic, 111-102, at Amway Center on Wednesday night.

The Clippers (25-25) hoped to carry over the massive momentum they'd built up during a memorable second-half comeback from a 35-point deficit against the Wizards on Tuesday, and they did indeed manage to forge a 49-48 lead going into intermission. However, the Magic (9-40) came out of halftime the hotter team, eliminating their slim deficit and taking a two-point edge into the final period. Nevertheless, Los Angeles would once again muster some late-game magic, outscoring their hosts by a 35-25 margin to notch another comeback victory.

Amir Coffey paced the Clippers with 19 points, complementing them with six rebounds, five assists and one steal. Luke Kennard totaled 17 points, five rebounds and one assist. Terance Mann recorded 14 points, two assists and one steal. Eric Bledsoe finished with 13 points, four boards, three assists and one steal. Nicolas Batum posted 12 points, seven rebounds, two assists and one steal.

Franz Wagner led the Magic with 21 points, complementing them with nine assists, three rebounds and two steals. Cole Anthony generated a 19-point, 11-assist double-double that included six rebounds, two steals and one block. Jalen Suggs and Gary Harris poured in 14 points apiece, with Suggs adding four rebounds and three assists. Wendell Carter delivered 11 points, nine boards and two assists. Mo Bamba collected 10 points, eight rebounds, one assist and one block.

The Clippers remain on the road and visit the Miami Heat on Friday night, while the Magic remains home and hosts the Detroit Pistons on Friday night as well.
