Washington –
The Orlando Magic, sparked by 37 points from Desmond Bane, and the New York Knicks advanced to an NBA Cup semi-final showdown with breakthrough triumphs on Tuesday.
Bane went 6-of-9 from 3-point range and added six rebounds and five assists in Orlando’s 117-108 victory over the visiting Miami Heat.
Jalen Suggs added 20 points for the Magic, who despite lacking top scorer Franz Wagner due to a high ankle sprain, won for the 11th time in 15 games and improved to 5-0 in NBA Cup play.
