ORLANDO, FLA — The Dallas Mavericks secured a 101-92 victory over the Orlando Magic, fueled by a game-changing 20-2 run to close the third quarter. Jaden Hardy led the charge with 22 points, hitting 5 of 6 from beyond the arc.

Anthony Davis, returning from injury, contributed 15 points and seven rebounds but struggled with 5-for-19 shooting. Dallas’ bench stepped up, with Brandon Williams scoring 14, while Klay Thompson and Max Christie added 12 each.

Paolo Banchero delivered 35 points and 10 rebounds for Orlando, marking his fifth straight 30-point game, but it wasn’t enough to extend their winning streak. Franz Wagner chipped in 20 points.

Dallas center Kai Jones exited early with a hip contusion. The Mavericks, now 36-38, remain in the Western Conference play-in hunt.
