ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orlando Magic needed barely three weeks for a season sweep of the Milwaukee Bucks.

 

Behind 28 points and 14 rebounds from Dwight Howard, the Magic defeated the Bucks 114-98 on Saturday night, their fourth win over the Bucks in the past 22 days.

 

Jason Richardson had 18 points, and Hedo Turkoglu and Ryan Anderson added 16 points apiece to lead six Magic players in double figures.

 

The bizarre scheduling setup pitted the teams against each other three times in nine days before the All-Star break, with the Magic coming from behind in the fourth quarter in each one of their victories.

 

Saturday night's win was a little more comfortable, as the Magic pulled away in the fourth quarter thanks to some hot 3-point shooting and dominant play from Howard.

 

The Magic were 14 of 27 (51.7 percent) from 3-point range on their way to their second-highest scoring output of the season.

 

"We're a tough team to guard, because you have to pick your poison," said Anderson, who made three shots from behind the arc. "If you want to double-team on Dwight and take him out of the game, you're going to leave open one of our shooters."

 

Brandon Jennings led Milwaukee with 27 points, and Ersan Ilyasova added 18. But the Bucks had very little to be happy about after the sweep.
