ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Desmond Bane had a 3-pointer and two free throws in the final 17.4 seconds to cap a 35-point night and help the Orlando Magic hold off the Cleveland Cavaliers 128-122 on Wednesday for their fifth straight victory.<\/p>\n

Paolo Banchero added 25 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for the Magic. Tristan da Silva scored nine of his 23 points in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

James Harden had 30 points and eights assists for Cleveland. Donovan Mitchell added 25 points, hitting a 3-pointer that brought the Cavaliers within two after Orlando led by 13 midway through the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Bane countered with a 3-pointer as he was falling out of bounds with 17.4 seconds left, then added two free throws with eight seconds remaining.<\/p>\n

Three 3-pointers by Keon Ellis, who finished with 20 points, keyed the late comeback of the Cavaliers.<\/p>\n

Evan Mobley had 18 points and 13 rebounds for Cleveland. The Cavaliers have lost five of nine after winning seven straight.<\/p>\n

Mitchell and Harden each scored 16 points in the first half, but the Cavaliers missed 11 of 12 3-point shots in the second quarter and were tied at 62 at halftime. Harden opened the second half with a 3-pointer, but Mobley was called for his fourth foul just 35 seconds into the third quarter.<\/p>\n

The five-game winning streak is Orlando\u2019s longest of the season.<\/p>\n
