ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Nikola Vucevic scored 24 points and grabbed 23 rebounds, and Jameer Nelson had five points in overtime as the Orlando Magic edged the Charlotte Bobcats 110-105 on Friday night.

Aaron Afflalo, who finished with 17 points, sent the game into overtime with a 3-pointer with 7.6 seconds remaining as Orlando won its second straight.

In overtime, Nelson’s 3-pointer with 2:26 left put Orlando ahead for good.

Orlando, which trailed during the first 44 minutes, took a 94-93 lead on an Afflalo’s free throw with 1:12 left. But Josh McRoberts, who had a career-high 24 points, drove the lane to put Charlotte ahead. Kemba Walker then hit a fadeaway jumper with 14.6 seconds left to put the Bobcats up three.

Tobias Harris had 15 points for the Magic, while Victor Oladipo added 14 and Kyle O’Quinn 13. Nelson, who missed the last four games with a sore knee, had 11.
