ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Rashard Lewis scored 18 points, leading eight Magic players in double figures in Orlando's 113-95 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night.

Louis Williams scored 18 for Philadelphia, Andre Iguodala added 14 points and reserve Rodney Carney had 11 points. The 76ers, who at 34-35 are still trying to clinch an Eastern Conference playoff spot, had won four in a row and 10 of 12.

The Magic, the NBA leader in 3-pointers made, hurt Philadelphia from long range. Orlando had more 3s in the first 6 1/2 minutes (4) than the Sixers usually have for a whole game. Orlando went 6-for-6 from behind the arc, with contributions from five different players, to help build a 30-11 lead. That was with more than 3 minutes left in the first quarter.

Orlando was a blistering 14-of-23 from 3-point range for the game, compared with 4-for-13 for Philadelphia.
