ORLANDO, Fla. -- Two nights after ambling through one of their worst offensive outputs of the season, almost anything would have been an improvement for the Orlando Magic.

 

That sentiment was not lost on them.

 

Ryan Anderson hit seven 3-pointers and scored 29 points, Dwight Howard added 28 points and 16 rebounds, and the Magic held off the Phoenix Suns 103-93 on Wednesday night.

 

Minus a few flat moments, the Magic were swift with the ball and they kept the Suns playing catch-up most of the night.

 

But that fluidity was definitely tempered by their 17 turnovers, just two less than they had in a Monday night loss to Chicago in which they managed just 59 points.

 

"We just wanted to play our game, no matter what the situation was or what we scored," said Magic point guard Jameer Nelson. "Whoever's out there, just go out and play to our capabilities so we could be good collectively."

 

Orlando led by as many as 22 before the Suns surged with under 5 minutes to play. But the Magic, who were 11 for 23 from beyond the arc, were able to string together enough baskets down the stretch to hold on.

 

The Magic snapped a two-game losing streak and won for the sixth time in seven matchups with the Suns in Orlando.

 

Jared Dudley had 17 points and Robin Lopez added 14 points and eight rebounds for the Suns, who lost their second straight game since a season-best, four-game win streak.
