Grayson Allen scored 27 points in his return and Jalen Green made up for a miserable shooting night with a game-winning 3-pointer at the final buzzer as the host Phoenix Suns overcame an injury to Dillon Books in a 113-110 double overtime victory over the Orlando Magic on Saturday.
Collin Gillespie added 19 points, and the Suns blew an 11-point fourth quarter lead before Green took over. Green countered Jevon Carter’s game-tying 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds remaining with just his second three of the game to beat the buzzer.
Green, who was 6 of 26 from the field, scored the Suns’ final six points and gave them a 110-107 lead on a driving left-handed layup with 33.9 seconds remaining.
Desmond Bane scored 34 points before fouling out in overtime, Paolo Banchero scored 26 and Jevon Carter had 15 points for the Magic, who made 10 of 39 3-pointers after hitting a franchise record 27 in a victory over Sacramento on Thursday.
Banchero had 14 rebounds and eight assists.
Jordan Goodwin scored 17 points before leaving with an apparent injury in the fourth quarter for the Suns, who had lost four of five.
Orlando opted not to foul with the Suns holding a 110-107 lead late in the second overtime, and the Suns turned the ball over on a shot clock violation to give the Magic a chance.
The Magic ended regulation on a 16-5 run to force overtime after Goodwin’s 3-pointer gave the Suns their first double-digit lead, 91-80, with 7:37 remaining.
Allen, who missed the previous four games with a knee injury, was 8 of 22 from the field and made 4 of 14 3-pointers.
The Suns were 16 of 55 from distance (29.1%) while playing without Devin Booker, who suffered a hip injury in a 121-94 loss to San Antonio on Thursday and will be reevaluated in a week, the Suns said.
Brooks left with 4:46 remaining in the first quarter with a left hand injury and did not return. He did not play in a loss at San Antonio on Thursday while serving a one-game suspension.
Anthony Black had 10 points and Wendell Carter Jr. had 11 rebounds for the Magic, who will conclude a four-game road in Los Angeles against the Clippers and Lakers.
