ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Kawhi Leonard scored 29 points and drilled a jumper from the tip of the key with 0.9 on the clock to lift San Antonio to a 98-96 win over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 21 points and Patty Mills added 17 points and seven assists for the Spurs, who won their fourth straight game.

Evan Fournier, whose 3-pointer tied the game with 13.3 seconds left, led Orlando with 28 points. Nikola Vucevic had 20 points and 13 rebounds, Victor Oladipo scored 14 and Elfrid Payton had 13 points and seven assists.

Payton missed an open layup at the buzzer that could have tied it.

The Spurs rallied from a 14-point fourth quarter deficit to take the lead 94-93 on a fadeaway jumper by Aldridge with 1:10 left in the game. Leonard added two free throws to up the lead to 96-93 going into the final minute.

San Antonio blocked two shots and forced two turnovers in the final minute, but Fournier made a 3-pointer with 13.3 seconds to tie the game at 96.
