Game Detail
LAS VEGAS –
The Orlando Magic used a balanced offense and staunch second-half defense to defeat the Miami Heat, 93-88 in Summer League action on Saturday.
The Magic’s trio of Jase Richardson (three 3-pointers, five rebounds, six assists), Lester Quinones (two 3-pointers) and Colin Castleton (eight rebounds, one assist) each dropped 15 points in the victory.
Noah Penda
,
the No. 32 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, stuffed the stat sheet with 12 points, seven rebounds, two dimes, two steals and two blocks.
Miami held a 52-46 advantage at halftime behind a combined 34 points and six 3-pointers from their starting backcourt, Jahmir Young (19 points, three 3-pointers) and Trevor Keels (15 points, three 3-pointers).
At the onset of the third quarter, however, the momentum had shifted in favor of Orlando. The Magic shot a red-hot 66.7 percent from the field en route to a 33-18 scoring edge, turning a six-point halftime deficit into a nine-point cushion heading to the final frame (79-70).
Both teams turned up the effort on defense in the fourth quarter, with Miami outpacing the Magic 18-14 over the final 10 minutes of play.
Orlando struggled with turnovers (19), but their second unit made perhaps the biggest impact of the game, as they finished with a 32-8 mark in bench scoring.
Keels
tallied a game-high 32 points and six 3-pointers on 12-for-19 shooting for Miami, adding four rebounds, two assists and a steal. Young was just behind his backcourt partner with 27 points to go along with one board, six assists, three steals and a block.
Tre White chipped in with 13 points, three 3-pointers, five rebounds, four assists, four steals and a block in an all-around performance.
The Magic (1-1) resume play on Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers (
