ORLANDO, Fla. -- For three consecutive outings, the Orlando Magic won games by piling up incredible outside shooting performances that their opponents simply couldn't match.

 

To win their fourth straight, they got big performances from Dwight Howard and Hedo Turkoglu and put together a strong fourth-quarter effort to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 94-85 Friday night.

 

Howard had 26 points and 20 rebounds, and the Magic outscored the Bucks 22-11 in the fourth quarter. It was Howard's seventh 20-point, 20-rebound game of the season.

 

Guard Jason Richardson, who came into Friday's game with 21 3-pointers over a five-game stint, was just 2 for 11 against the Bucks. But he said he reveled in watching Turkoglu close the game with 10 points in the final 12 minutes.

 

Turkoglu had 14 points and seven assists.

 

"That's what great teams do, when somebody doesn't have the greatest game they step up," Richardson said. "We finally got some energy toward the end of the second quarter and found a way to gut it out and get the win."

 

Ryan Anderson added 23 points, including four 3-pointers.

 

The Magic committed 17 turnovers, but just four in the fourth.

 

Howard was frustrated at times during the game, picking up a technical for arguing about a non-foul call and was responsible for a team delay of game tech for dribbling the ball to midcourt after an offensive foul called on him.

 

He left the locker room after the game without talking to reporters.

 

Carlos Delfino led the Bucks with 16 points and Ersan Ilyasova added 14 points and 10 rebounds. Leading-scorer Brandon Jennings continued to struggle from the field for the eighth straight game, this time going a dismal 4 for 20 and finishing with 14 points.
