ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Steve Francis made a game-winning basket with two-tenths of a second remaining, and scored 26 points in his Orlando debut to lead the new-look Magic to a 93-92 victory Wednesday night over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Grant Hill, in his first regular-season action since Jan. 16, 2003, scored 20 points. Top draft pick Dwight Howard had 12 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks.

The Bucks took a 92-91 lead on Michael Redd’s banked-in jumper with 3.5 seconds to play in their opener. Redd finished with 19 points.

On the finaal possession, Hill inbounded from the left to Francis at the top the arc. Francis beat Mo Williams on the turn to the basket and got the shot off despite being fouled.

The buzzer sounded as the shot fell, and the Magic celebrated before racing off the court when they saw the officials consulting. After a brief review, the officials let the shot stand but reset the clock and brought the Magic back out for Francis’ free throw.

Francis intentionally missed the foul shot, and time expired.

Francis, one of the Magic’s many offseason acquisitions, also had nine rebounds and seven assists

The Magic, trying to shake off a disastrous 61-loss season, underwent a massive overhaul during the summer, highlighted by the blockbuster seven-player trade that sent Tracy McGrady to Houston. Orlando now has just four players remaining from April’s roster.

Orlando took a 15-point lead midway through the third quarter behind Hill and Howard. Hill began the period with three jumpers in four minutes, and Howard’s soaring windmill dunk put the Magic ahead 68-53. Francis dunked a possession later.

Hill made 10 of 21 shots and Howard went 6-for-11. But he missed all six of his foul shots.

The Bucks clawed back, going up 85-81 with 6:27 remaining on four straight baskets. The teams then traded points until the end, with two ties and four lead changes.

Desmond Mason received a scalp laceration, requiring five stitches, when Kelvin Cato elbowed him early in the fourth quarter. In the ensuing scuffle, Francis was hit with a technical foul.
