5-year Orlandoversary: Magic outlast Heat in double-overtime, 136-130

Relatively young NBA franchises, the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat have met more than 125 times.

On this day five years ago however, the two teams played their longest, highest-scoring and perhaps most thrilling matchup. In the end, the Magic outlasted Miami in double-overtime, 136-130.

Neither team was in the midst of a great season as they met at AmericanAirlines Arena on Dec. 20, 2016. The Magic were just 12-17 while the Heat were 9-19. For 58 minutes however, they gave the fans a show.

The Heat led by four after three periods and pushed that lead to nine in the fourth, but Orlando responded with 12 straight points to take its first lead since the second quarter.
