Orlando Magic at Indiana Pacers
· National Basketball Association
Banchero's basket in final seconds leads Magic to a 112-110 win over the Pacers
As the clock was winding down in regulation, Banchero backed down Aaron Nesmith and banked home an 11-foot shot for the final basket in a game that included 12 ties and 11 lead changes. The power forward finished 12 of 21 from the field and 5 for 7 at the line.
Nesmith missed a potential go-ahead 3-pointer with 3.1 seconds remaining.
Orlando's Desmond Bane scored 18, Anthony Black added 15 and former Pacers center Goga Bitadze 14.
The Magic (19-15), who have been without leading scorer Franz Wagner (22.7 points per game) since Dec. 7 due to a high-ankle sprain, welcomed back point guard Jalen Suggs from a seven-game absence with a hip issue. Suggs had 11 points and three assists.
The Pacers have the NBA's worst record at 6-28. The 10-game losing streak matches the fifth-longest in franchise history.
Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 26 points. Bennedict Mathurin scored 23 and Andrew Nembhard had 19.
Pacers: Host San Antonio Spurs on Friday.
