The Spurs led by five points heading into the fourth quarter, but Orlando rushed past them, taking a 95-93 lead on Jonathan Isaac’s offensive rebound and dunk with 6:25 to play.

From there, the Magic fashioned a 10-2 surge, capped by Wendell Carter Jr.’s three-point play to go up by 10 with 3:56 remaining.

The first quarter featured six lead changes before San Antonio went in front 22-21 on Champagnie’s 3-pointer at the 4:46 mark. Castle’s pull-up trey with 5.6 seconds left granted the Spurs a 34-29 advantage after 12 minutes.

San Antonio stretched the margin to six points on Castle’s layup two minutes into the second quarter. The Magic swung back with an 11-3 run, capped by Wendell Carter Jr.’s putback with 6:29 remaining in the period, to take a 47-45 lead. The lead switched hands four more times before a dunk by Barnes at the buzzer knotted the game at 61 at halftime.

Wagner led all scorers with 17 points before halftime, with Caldwell-Pope adding 14 for the Magic. Castle paced San Antonio with 12 first-half points while Champagnie had 11 and Barnes scored 10.
