TORONTO, April 3 (UPI) -- The Toronto Raptors used 24 points from DeMar DeRozan and 23 from Jerryd Bayless Sunday to edge the Orlando Magic 102-98.

The Raptors, aided by some inept Magic shooting down the stretch, rallied from eight points back in the final period to pull off the victory, which snapped their six-game losing streak.

The Toronto victory helped Miami, a winner over New Jersey Sunday, clinch the Southeast Division. The Magic hold the No. 4 spot in the East.

Leandro Barbosa chipped in 14 points for the Raptors.

Orlando lost despite a game-high 31 points from Dwight Howard, who came up one rebound short of adding to his consecutive double-doubles streak of 33 games. Jameer Nelson added 21 points.
