Luol Deng had 21 points and seven rebounds as the Miami Heat defeated the Orlando Magic 93-90 in overtime on Wednesday night.
Miami closed regulation on a 10-2 run to erase an eight-point deficit with less than a minute remaining. Bill Walker sandwiched a pair of 3-pointers around a free throw from Orlando's Victor Oladipo, the last one a deep left wing triple with 2.1 seconds on the clock to send the game to overtime.
With the Heat leading 89-88, Dwyane Wade missed a straightaway 3 with 28 seconds to go in overtime, but Nikola Vucevic was stripped in the paint at the other end and Wade made two foul shots for a 91-88 Miami cushion with 16.6 seconds left.
Vucevic's spinning left-handed layup again whittled the deficit to a point before Goran Dragic sunk two bonus shots to extend the margin to 93-90 with 7.7 seconds on the clock.
Oladipo's 3 at the horn was off the mark.
