NBA ROUNDUP Saturday's game



Magic 102, 76ers 97
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Dwight Howard scored a season-high 28 points and grabbed a career-high 26 rebounds to lift Orlando, keeping the Magic's playoff hopes alive and further damaging the 76ers'. Allen Iverson had 36 points and five assists, while Chris Webber added 20 points and 11 rebounds for the 76ers. Philadelphia has lost two in a row, falling 1 1/2 games behind idle Chicago with two left to play. The win was the Magic's eighth in a row overall and 12th straight at home, and leaves them 2 1/2 games behind the Bulls. The Magic have two games left and the Bulls have three. The Magic host Chicago on Monday night and finish the regular season at Indiana on Wednesday. Philadelphia plays at home against New Jersey on Tuesday and finishes at Charlotte on Wednesday. Neither team led by more than three points in a tight fourth quarter, which the Magic didn't sew up until the game's final minute. Trailing by three, Webber drove the lane and missed inside, and Hedo Turkoglu made two free throws to cement the victory.
