Phoenix, Feb. 21, 2026. Jalen Green buried a right-corner three as time expired in the second overtime, giving the Phoenix Suns a 113-110 victory against the Orlando Magic on Saturday night.

The decisive shot came 1.1 seconds after Orlando’s Jevon Carter tied the game with a corner three of his own. Green, who had struggled to 5-for-25 shooting before the final possession, finished 6-for-26 overall and 2-for-11 from long range. His game-winner was only his second made three of the night.

Grayson Allen led Phoenix with 27 points in his return from a four-game absence caused by a sprained right ankle, scoring all seven Suns points in the first overtime. Collin Gillespie added 19, while Green totaled 16. Reserve guard Jordan Goodwin supplied 17 before leaving in the fourth quarter with an apparent leg issue, and rookie Oso Ighodaro contributed 11 points and 12 rebounds.

Orlando was paced by Desmond Bane’s 34 points on 12-of-18 shooting, but he fouled out 40 seconds into the first extra period. Paolo Banchero posted 26 points and 14 rebounds for a club that had won four of its previous five games. Starting guard Jalen Suggs sat out with back spasms.

Phoenix played without All-Star Devin Booker, sidelined for at least a week by a right hip strain. Forward Dillon Brooks logged just seven minutes before departing with what sources told ESPN is a broken left hand.

The Magic forced overtime by scoring the final six points of regulation, capped by Anthony Black’s dunk with 57 seconds left. Neither team led by more than three in either overtime session.

The win moved the Suns to 32-24, while Orlando slipped to 29-27.
