Cooper Flagg scored 51 points, but Dallas lost its 14th straight home game after Kidd and Marshall were tossed in the fourth quarter.

- Orlando led by as much as 30 points early in the fourth quarter, yet Flagg made history as the youngest player in NBA History, scoring 51 points and helping Dallas trim the deficit to 11.
- Former Magic head coach Frank Vogel took over for the final 11 minutes as fans showered officials with "Refs, you suck" chants; the loss marked Dallas's 14th straight home defeat while Orlando snapped a 13-game losing streak.
- With five games left in the season, the Magic will take the floor next on Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans, capping a two-game stint away from home at 7:00 p.m. EST.
