MILWAUKEE (AP) – Hedo Turkoglu scored 25 points to help the Orlando Magic equal their best shooting performance of the season in a 117-94 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night.

It was the second straight victory for the Magic, who are trying to hold onto the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Orlando shot 62.5 percent from the field, the best shooting performance allowed by Milwaukee all season. Orlando also shot 62.5 percent in a Feb. 2 victory over New Jersey.

Ersan Ilyasova scored 18 points to lead the Bucks, who said before the game that leading scorer Michael Redd would sit out the remainder of the season with a nagging left knee injury.

Turkoglu shot 10-for-15 from the field less than a week after scoring a career-high 37 points in Orlando’s April 4 loss to Toronto.
