HOUSTON — – Kevin Durant<\/a> scored 35 points and Alperen Sengun<\/a> had 30 points and 12 rebounds to help the Houston Rockets<\/a> rally for a 117-113 overtime victory over the Orlando Magic<\/a> on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Orlando led by a point when Amen Thompson<\/a> put the Rockets on top on a dunk with an assist from Durant with less than a minute left in overtime. Jabari Smith<\/a> Jr. blocked a layup by Franz Wagner<\/a> and Durant’s step-back jumper made it 113-110 with 9.2 seconds left.<\/p>\n

Wagner made two free throws with 8.7 seconds to go, pulling the Magic within 1. But, Reed Sheppard<\/a> made two free throws for Houston to extend the lead to 115-112 with 4.1 seconds left.<\/p>\n

Wendell Carter Jr<\/a>. made one free throw, but was called for a lane violation on the second attempt, making it Houston leading 115-113. Thompson made two free throws after that to seal Houston’s fourth straight victory.<\/p>\n

Wagner scored a season-high 29 points and Desmond Bane<\/a> also set his season high with 26 points to lead the Magic on a night they were missing both Paolo Banchero<\/a> and Jalen Suggs<\/a> because of groin injuries.<\/p>\n

The Rockets trailed by as many as 11 in the fourth quarter before using a big run to get back in it.<\/p>\n

Durant made a 3-pointer with 21.4 seconds in regulation to tie it at 100.<\/p>\n

Sengun blocked a layup by Bane with 5.3 seconds remaining and officials said it was Orlando’s possession after the ball sailed out of bounds. The Rockets challenged the call and it was overturned.<\/p>\n

Sengun threw the inbounds pass intended for Durant, but he slipped and Anthony Black<\/a> stole the ball and finished with a dunk to put the Magic on top. He was fouled by Sengun, but missed the free throw to give the Rockets another chance.<\/p>\n

Sengun made a shot in the lane just before the clock expired to tie it at 102-all and send it to overtime.<\/p>\n
