Wizards 105, Magic 101 (OT): John Wall recorded 21 points, including two baskets in overtime, and dished out 11 assists as visiting Washington rallied to defeat Orlando.

Trevor Ariza contributed 21 points and 11 rebounds while Bradley Beal scored 20 for Washington before being carried off the court with an ankle injury with 42.7 seconds left in the extra period. Marcin Gortat had 19 points and 14 rebounds and Trevor Booker added 11 and 11, respectively, for the Wizards.

Tobias Harris led the way with 21 points off the bench and Arron Afflalo added 18 as the Magic lost their fifth straight game. Victor Oladipo recorded 15 points, but missed a jumper to win it at the end of regulation, while Jameer Nelson added 13 points and eight assists as Orlando lost for the first time in eight games at home against Washington.

Beal blocked Nelson’s breakaway layup off the backboard and the ball worked its way to Ariza for a corner 3-pointer that gave the Wizards a 99-97 lead with 60 seconds left in overtime. After a Magic miss, Wall drained a jumper and Andre Miller made two free throws to seal it with 8.7 seconds to go.

Orlando spurted ahead by nine after a Harris 3-pointer midway through the third quarter, but the Wizards scored 10 of the final 12 to take a 67-66 lead into the fourth. Washington trailed by six with just under two minutes left in the fourth before Wall made two free throws and a pair of 3-pointers -- the second with 10.6 ticks left to send it to overtime at 87.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Ariza was 4-of-8 from 3-point range after making all nine from behind the arc in his first two games against the Magic this season. … Orlando C Nikola Vucevic, hampered by a sore left ankle most of the second half, finished with eight points and 12 rebounds to snap his streak of eight straight games with a double-double. … Wall was fined $15,000 by the NBA for directing inappropriate comments toward the game officials following the 98-85 loss to Charlotte on Wednesday.
