Orlando, FL (My Sportsbook) - Rashard Lewis poured in 19 points and grabbed eight rebounds, as the Orlando Magic handled the Milwaukee Bucks, 110-94, at Amway Arena.

Hedo Turkoglu and Dwight Howard added 18 points each for Orlando, which has won five straight overall and seven in a row at home. Turkoglu pulled down nine boards while Howard had eight. Courtney Lee ended with 16 points for the victors.

The Southeast Division champion Magic currently hold the second seed in the Eastern Conference.

"I didn't think that we brought a very good energy or focus to the game in the first half and even in the first four or five minutes of the second half," Orlando head coach Stan Van Gundy said. "Then I thought we played a little bit better and then I thought our bench guys did a great job opening up the game, giving us great energy and opening up the game going down late third quarter and fourth quarter. AJ (Anthony Johnson), JJ (JJ Redick), MP (Mickael Pietrus), Tony (Tony Battie) and Marcin (Marcin Gortat), I thought that's when the game turned and we were able to put it away."

Milwaukee was paced by Charlie Bell and Ramon Sessions, who tallied 19 points apiece. Richard Jefferson finished with 13 points and seven rebounds for the Bucks, who have lost four consecutive contests overall and six straight as the visitor.

Bucks point guard Luke Ridnour returned to the lineup after missing Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors due to back spasms. The sixth- year pro played just over 11 minutes and recorded four points.

Milwaukee is now four games behind Detroit and Chicago for the eighth and final spot in the East. The Bulls and Pistons were both idle on Friday night.

Ahead by 10, the Magic took control of the game with an 8-2 flurry to start the fourth quarter. Marcin Gortat's jumper and layup topped off the surge, giving Orlando an 88-72 lead with under nine minutes to play.

The Bucks never got closer than 14 points the remainder of the way.

Trailing 19-12 with over four minutes to play in the first quarter, the Bucks responded with eight straight points to take their first lead in the game. Jefferson's slam capped off the flurry with one minute left in the stanza, but Howard's hook shot gave the Magic a 21-20 edge after 12 minutes of action.

The majority of the second period was a wire-to-wire battle. Orlando finished the half on a strong note, scoring the final five points to take a 49-43 advantage heading into the locker room.

With score deadlocked at 52 early in the third, the Magic gave themselves some breathing room by putting together a 10-2 spurt. Lee's trey culminated the surge with under 7 1/2 minutes remaining.

Orlando, which led by as many as 11 in the third quarter, took a 80-70 margin into the final period following a three-pointer from Turkoglu.

"We tried to play hard tonight. We tried to hang in there with them," Milwaukee head coach Scott Skiles said. "We missed so many shots. Their points in the paint obviously hurt. Some of those were in transition where we didn't cover the backcourt well enough."
