ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Hedo Turkoglu scored 21 points and tied his career high with 14 rebounds as the Orlando Magic beat the Golden State Warriors 103-92 Saturday night.

The Magic were in danger of blowing a 19-point fourth-quarter lead before Turkoglu calmly nailed a 3-pointer with 1:08 left.

Golden State trailed 86-67 with 11 minutes remaining, but cut the deficit to 95-91 with 1:29 to play on a 20-footer by Calbert Cheaney. Baron Davis scored 10 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter to spark the Warriors’ rally, but Turkoglu’s 3-pointer stopped the run.

Derek Fisher led Golden State with 20 points and Troy Murphy added 14 points and seven rebounds.

Keyon Dooling had 13 points for the Magic, who won their second straight after losing six in row. Golden State has lost five of its last six games.

Warriors guard Jason Richardson, coming off a career-high 44 points against Miami one night earlier, followed it up with only 11 points on 4-of-14 shooting.

The Magic shot 65.7 percent in the first half and led by as many as 11, but couldn’t put away the Warriors. Darko Milicic had eight points in the second period when the Magic moved ahead, but 10 turnovers kept Golden State within striking range.

The Warriors pulled within 64-60 on a 3-pointer by Davis, but that was as close as the game got in the second half. Dooling scored six straight points and DeShawn Stevenson added four as the Magic outscored Golden State 14-3 over the next 6 minutes to take a 77-63 lead.

Notes: Richardson had averaged 37.3 points in his last four games. … The Magic bench had another big night, scoring 42 points. Magic F Grant Hill (abdominal strain) was on the inactive list for the seventh time this season. … Warriors reserve C Andris Biedrins is 57-of-82 from the field (69.5 percent) from the field in his last 19 games.
