Magic tame Raptors to take 3-1 series lead

By Steve Keating

TORONTO (Reuters) - The Orlando Magic beat the Toronto Raptors 106-94 on Saturday to seize control of their Eastern Conference quarter-final.

The Magic now return to Florida leading the best-of-seven series 3-1 with an opportunity to clinch a spot in the semi-finals with a Game Five win on Monday.

If the Raptors are to extend the series they will have to do something they have not done since May 6, 2001, win an away playoff game.

The Magic were again led to victory by their two big men, Rashard Lewis showing the way with 27 points and 13 rebounds while Dwight Howard had 19 points and 16 boards.
