Dwight Howard had 29 points and a season-high 18 rebounds and Hedo Turkoglu added 35 points for the Magic, who finished their homestand 4-1.

Point guard Steve Blake and reserve Travis Outlaw had 20 apiece as Portland's bench outscored Orlando's 40-12. Portland has played six of its first seven games against teams that won at least 52 games last season and is 3-3 against them. Orlando has played only three 2007-08 playoff teams this season, and is 2-1.

Trailing 73-72 entering the final period, Portland scored the first 11 points of the fourth quarter, fueled by two 3-pointers by Rudy Fernandez. He finished with 16 points.

The Trail Blazers held a 91-79 lead with 3:55 left before Turkoglu did his best to keep Orlando close, scoring 11 of their next 13 points. His 3-pointer cut it to 98-92 with 50 seconds left, but the Blazers were 8-for-10 from the foul line after that to seal the victory.

Howard, who has struggled at the line this season shooting just 48 percent (15-for-33) was 9-for-12 in the first half before missing four of six tries in the fourth quarter as the Magic tried to cut into Portland's lead.

Greg Oden, the No. 1 pick who sat out all of last season after knee microfracture surgery, missed the game with a right foot injury sustained in the season-opener. Joel Pryzbilla, who's averaging 4.5 points and 9.7 rebounds, continues to start in his place.

Pryzbilla did not score in the first half and finished with two points.

The Magic embark on a three-game road swing, including a Friday stop in Dallas. Portland stays on the road for three more games before returning home.
