Franz Wagner scored 38 points and grabbed eight rebounds, leading the Orlando Magic to a 123-108 victory over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. This win marked the team's 10th consecutive loss for the Jazz. Desmond Bane contributed 25 points, while Anthony Black added 22 points and eight assists to help the Magic secure their second straight win.

The Magic outscored the Jazz 14-3 in fast-break points and dominated the paint, holding Utah to 40-28 in scoring. After Utah took a 96-95 lead on Darryn Peterson's 3-pointer, Orlando responded with an 18-3 run to take control. Wagner scored two baskets, made two free throws, and assisted on a 3-pointer by Desmond Bane, putting the Magic up 113-99 with 3:39 remaining.

Utah seldom attacked the basket early in the first half, with only 24 of their 28 field-goal attempts coming from the interior. The Jazz took a 40-34 lead on back-to-back 3s from Darryn Peterson and Keyonte George. However, Orlando's limited presence around the rim allowed them to rally before halftime and take a 66-59 lead into the locker room.

Wagner finished the game with four baskets and scored 13 points in the second quarter, helping the Magic surge in front.
