NBA roundup: Five players ejected as Magic drop Wolves

Cole Anthony came off the bench to lead seven Orlando scorers in double-figures with 20 points, and the Magic rode a dominant second half to a 127-120 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday in an ejection-filled game at Minneapolis.

The Magic went on an 8-0 run early in the third quarter to lead by double digits, a cushion they kept for most of the second half.

The lead swelled to as many as 22 points in the fourth quarter after a melee late in the third period led to the ejection of five players. Jalen Suggs and Mo Bamba were ejected for scuffling with Minnesota's Austin Rivers, while the Timberwolves' Taurean Prince and Jaden McDaniels were tossed along with Rivers for their involvement.

Bamba and Suggs were part of the balanced scoring night for the Magic, with Bamba knocking down 3 of 7 from 3-point range en route to 11 points and Suggs coming off the bench to notch 10 points. Anthony also matched Paolo Banchero with a team-leading eight rebounds and dished six assists, matching the game high.

D'Angelo Russell shot 6-for-16 from beyond the arc and led all scorers with 29 points. He grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds and added six assists for Minnesota. Anthony Edwards shot just 5-for-15 from the floor as his run of games scoring at least 23 points ended at eight.

Pistons 118, Hornets 112

Jaden Ivey had 24 points and seven assists, and Saddiq Bey contributed 22 points, including a go-ahead 3-pointer in the late going, as host Detroit downed Charlotte.

Bojan Bogdanovic added 21 points, Alec Burks chipped in with 16, Jalen Duren collected 13 points and 13 rebounds, and Isaiah Stewart added eight points, 16 rebounds and six assists. Detroit overcame 23 turnovers, which led to 30 Hornets points.
