Key moment After the Magic pulled within 96-94 with 1:21 remaining, Moody nailed an open corner 3-pointer that gave the Warriors just enough breathing room.

Key stat The Magic, 28th in rebounding, controlled the boards 52-45 which led to 18 second-chance points. Goga Bitadze led Orlando’s effort with 14 rebounds, six on the offensive end.
