DETROIT — Paolo Banchero broke a tie on a three-point play with 0.8 seconds left and finished with 15 points in the Orlando Magic's 112-109 victory over the NBA-worst Detroit Pistons on Saturday night.
''We wanted to get the last shot,'' Banchero said. ''When I got the ball, I was looking at the clock and wanted to get it down to the last possible second.''
Orlando's star made an 18-foot baseline jumper and a free throw after missing two free throws with 17.9 seconds left, allowing Detroit to stay within two points.
''That's what great players do,'' Magic guard Jalen Suggs said.
