WASHINGTON – It’s not exactly Magic, but it’s a stunner nonetheless: Orlando has a two-game winning streak.

The team that began the week with a 19-game losing streak got 27 points from Tracy McGrady and a season-high 17 from Shammond Williams to defeat the Washington Wizards 95-91 Wednesday night.

Williams made three 3-pointers and hit two clinching free throws with 8.1 seconds left for Orlando, which snapped an eight-game road losing streak.

Larry Hughes scored 19 and Kwame Brown had 18 for Washington.

The Wizards played their eighth straight game without Gilbert Arenas, but the injured Washington guard still found a way to hurt his team. Sitting on the bench wearing a road jersey and blue sweats instead of street clothes, Arenas was called for two technical fouls and ejected with 1.4 seconds left in the first quarter after saying something to official Bernie Fryer.

Grizzlies 103, Hawks 90

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Grizzlies are playing as well as they ever have – whether in Vancouver or Memphis.

Mike Miller scored a season-high 22 points, including 11 in a key third quarter rally, and Memphis defeated the Atlanta Hawks 103-90 Wednesday night to tie a franchise record with its sixth consecutive win.

Miller had back-to-back 3-pointers late in the third as the Grizzlies took the lead for good, eventually going ahead by 15 in the fourth quarter. Earl Watson added 20 points, also a season high, and nine assists as regular starter Jason Williams missed his fifth consecutive game due to back spasms.

Memphis also won six straight late last season.

Jason Terry led the Hawks with 19 points, while Stephen Jackson finished with 14 points off the bench. Shareef Abdur-Rahim had 12 points and 15 rebounds.

Bucks 94, Warriors 89

MILWAUKEE – Michael Redd scored 25 points and Dan Gadzuric had career highs of 19 points and 13 rebounds, leading the Milwaukee Bucks over Golden State 94-89 in overtime Wednesday night.

The Warriors lost to an Eastern Conference team for the first time in six games this season. The Bucks scored the first six points of overtime, and the Warriors didn’t score in the extra period until 10 seconds remained.

Desmond Mason scored 13 points and T.J. Ford had 11 for the Bucks. Gadzuric added five blocks and three steals.

Golden State was led by Van Exel’s 21 points. Speedy Claxton added 15 points and Erick Dampier had 11.

Jazz 95, Knicks 73

SALT LAKE CITY – Greg Ostertag scored a season-high 16 points with 12 rebounds and Andrei Kirilenko had another impressive stat line Wednesday night as the Utah Jazz defeated New York 95-73, handing the Knicks their sixth straight loss.

All five Utah starters scored in double figures and the Jazz barely missed getting four double-doubles. Raul Lopez scored 12 points with nine rebounds and nine assists, and Matt Harpring finished with 22 points and nine rebounds.

DeShawn Stevenson scored 14, and Kirilenko had 10 points, 12 rebounds, five blocks, six steals and six assists for Utah, which had lost two straight.

The slumping Knicks, who led in the first half, collapsed in the third quarter of their second game in two nights. The Knicks were outrebounded 49-37 and shot just 28-for-79 from the floor.

Former Utah guard Shandon Anderson led the Knicks with 16 points. Charlie Ward scored 12 and Kurt Thomas and Antonio McDyess added 10 points apiece for New York, which went 0-5 on a five-game Western road trip.
