MEMPHIS, Tenn.(AP) Hedo Turkoglu scored 26 points, and the Orlando Magic made a team-record 18 3-pointers in a 112-85 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.
Turkoglu was 6-of-8 outside the arc for Orlando, which hit 55 percent of its 3s. The Magic's previous record for 3-pointers was 16 against the Atlanta Hawks on April 18, 1996.
The Magic won their third straight, while Memphis had its two-game home winning streak snapped.
Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewisscored 16 points apiece for the Magic, and Howard grabbed 10 rebounds. Keyon Dooling finished with 13 points, and Maurice Evans scored 12.
Rudy Gay led Memphis with 20 points, while Pau Gasol had 17 points and 11 rebounds. Mike Conley had 13 points.
The game got away from the Grizzlies when Orlando used a 17-8 run to close the first half, then stretched the advantage in the early stages of the third quarter. That allowed the Magic to build the lead to 19, and they never let the margin get under double digits the rest of the way.
