Controversial Jonathan Isaac foul leads to Magic loss vs. Spurs

The Orlando Magic are disappointed after falling 114-112 to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night inside the Kia Center.

With just under a minute to go, Franz Wagner hit a 3-pointer to cut the Magic deficit to a single point after trailing by as much as 15 in the second half. The Magic were chipping away all night long, but the Spurs always found ways to quiet Orlando’s momentum.

Jalen Suggs nearly gave the Magic the lead on a fastbreak, but the layup failed to go through the net, preventing Orlando from taking a lead. De’Aaron Fox sunk both of his free throws to put the Spurs back up three points with 25.6 seconds to go.

From there, Desmond Bane drove into the lane but he also couldn’t connect on his layup attempt. The Spurs grabbed a rebound, but Jeremy Sochan failed to make either of his free throws. On the ensuing possession, Franz Wagner went to the free throw line and made all of his shots.

In a controversial call, Jonathan Isaac fouled Fox and sent him to the line for a pair of free throws, both of which he would make.
