ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The Orlando Magic built a big lead and avoided another meltdown - barely.
Rookie Courtney Lee had 24 points, Hedo Turkoglu scored 16 and the Magic blew another 18-point lead before beating the Philadelphia 76ers 96-87 to even the series at a game apiece.
Dwight Howard had 11 points and 10 rebounds but fouled out late. Rashard Lewis made a pair of big jumpers in the final minutes to help Orlando get its fourth win in five chances against Philadelphia this season.
Andre Miller had 30 points to lead Philly. Andre Iguodala (ih-goh-DAH'-lah) scored 20 of his 21 points in the second half for the Sixers, who closed the gap to 5 points and almost erased the same deficit they faced in the series opener.
