Rashard Lewis’ 27 points and nine rebounds Saturday helped the Orlando Magic beat Utah 103-94 despite the absence of all-star forward Dwight Howard.


Howard missed the game with a sprained left knee, ending his streak of 351 consecutive games played since he first came into the NBA. He was hurt Friday night in a loss at Phoenix.


Jameer Nelson’s three-pointer gave Orlando an 89-74 lead with 8:17 left, but the Jazz closed to 89-83 about three minutes later.


Hedo Turkoglu totaled 23 points, three rebounds, five assists and three steals, while Nelson added 17 points and six assists for the Magic, who have won five of their last six games.


Deron Williams’ 17 points and 11 assists led Utah. Andrei Kirilenko scored 17 points and Paul Millsap added 14 points and 14 rebounds for the Jazz, who had won two straight.
