PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Hedo Turkoglu's three-pointer with 0.3 seconds left Tuesday gave surging Orlando a 109-108 victory and handed Portland its first home loss this season.
Portland led by eight late in the fourth period but Jameer Nelson and Rashard Lewis hit three-pointers to pull Orlando within 108-106 with 29 seconds left.
The Trail Blazers then turned the ball over on a shot-clock violation. With 5 seconds left, Turkoglu inbounded to Dwight Howard who gave it right back, and Turkoglu banked in his three-pointer for the lead.
Brandon Roy's 73-foot, last-ditch heave missed and Orlando had the win.
Turkoglu finished with 24 points for the Magic, winners of four straight and eight of their last night. Lewis scored a team-high 27 points and had nine rebounds, while Nelson added 21 points and six assists.
The Blazers got a game-high 30 points from Roy, who also had nine rebounds. LaMarcus Aldridge had 25 points and 13 rebounds, while Joel Przybilla added 11 points and 11 rebounds as Portland lost for the second time in three outings.
