Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green hit a corner three-pointer at the final horn to lift the Suns to a thrilling 113-110 double-overtime victory over the Orlando Magic on Saturday. Green, who struggled mightily all night, made just 6 of 26 field goals and 2 of 6 free throws before sinking the decisive shot. His winning basket was his second three-pointer of the game after 11 attempts.

The Suns overcame a late surge by Orlando, who scored the final six points of regulation, including Anthony Black's dunk with 57 seconds remaining. Grayson Allen led Phoenix with 27 points after missing four games with a sprained ankle, scoring all seven points in the first overtime period. Collin Gillespie added 19 points for the Suns.

Orlando's Desmond Bane led the Magic with 34 points before fouling out in the first minute of overtime, while Paolo Banchero contributed 26 points and 14 rebounds. The Magic had won four of five games entering this matchup. The Suns played without injured star Devin Booker, who is sidelined for at least a week with a right hip strain.

Dillon Brooks played only seven minutes before exiting with a reported broken left hand.
