Desmond Bane Scores 37 to Lead Magic Past Heat in NBA Cup Quarterfinals

Posted : 10 December 2025

Desmond Bane delivered a standout performance to help the Orlando Magic defeat the Miami Heat in the NBA Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday, scoring a season-high 37 points along with six 3-pointers. The game marked a quick rebound for Bane, who was fined $35,000 the previous game for an on-court incident involving Knicks forward OG Anunoby.

“I just lost $35,000, so I gotta go get it back somehow,” Bane said after the game. Advancing to the semifinals in Las Vegas will earn him more than $100,000, and each player on the winning team can expect around a $530,000 bonus, compared to $213,000 for the runners-up. The Magic will face the New York Knicks on Saturday.

Bane made his biggest impact at the start of the fourth quarter, hitting two 3-pointers and completing a three-point play in just over two minutes to extend Orlando’s six-point lead to 13. Miami never reduced the deficit to less than nine points until the final minute. Heat coach Eric Spoelstra praised Bane’s performance, noting his ability to hit tough shots, drive to the rim, and draw fouls.

Supporting Bane, Jalen Suggs contributed 20 points and Paolo Banchero added 18 points with seven rebounds for the Magic. Miami was led by Norman Powell’s 21 points, while Tyler Herro scored 20 and Bam Adebayo and Andrew Wiggins each added 19. The Heat struggled from beyond the arc, finishing 8-for-33 (24.2%) on 3-pointers, with Herro missing all six of his attempts.

The Magic played without Franz Wagner for the first time this season, as the forward is expected to miss several weeks due to a high ankle sprain. Despite Miami jumping out to a 15-0 lead early in the game, Orlando regained control and secured the win, moving one step closer to the NBA Cup title.
