Magic withstand late Miami rally for rare road win

MIAMI (AP) — Mario Hezonja scored 20 points, Jonathan Simmons made the tiebreaking dunk with 1:31 remaining, and the Orlando Magic beat the Miami Heat 111-109 on Monday night.
 
   The Heat appeared to tie the game after Tyler Johnson was credited with a basket when Orlando's Bismack Biyombo was called for goaltending with 2.8 seconds remaining. A video review overturned the call.
 
   Starting for the injured Aaron Gordon, Hezonja shot 7 of 14 from the field and 4 of 9 3-pointers as the Magic won their third road game in the last 24.
 
   Marreese Speights' consecutive 3-pointers capped a 12-2 surge and his second one extended Orlando's lead to 99-89 with 11 minutes remaining. Speights finished with 12 points.
 
   The Magic withstood a 16-2 Miami run late in the fourth quarter. Josh Richardson's layup with 2:53 remaining tied it at 109. 
 
   Richardson scored 20 points for Miami. Hassan Whiteside added 19 and Justise Winslow finished with 16.
 
   Simmons and D.J. Augustin scored 16 points apiece for Orlando. Evan Fournier finished with 13 points.
 
   The Heat have now started their last two homestands with losses against the last-place teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences in Orlando and Sacramento.
 
   The Heat struggled from the perimeter in the first half as they went 0 for 12 in 3-point attempts. But 16 points in the paint helped Miami build a 29-17 lead in the first quarter.
 
   Consecutive 3-pointers from Simmons keyed a 10-2 run in the final 1:13 of the second quarter that got the Magic within 60-59 at halftime.
