ORLANDO, Fla. -- At this point in the season, the Orlando Magic will take lucky over good.

Hedo Turkoglu scored 18 points, including a fallaway 20-footer with 0.4 seconds left, to lift the Orlando Magic to an 88-87 victory over the Seattle SuperSonics on Wednesday night.

"That was a lucky shot," said Turkoglu, who was falling out of bounds with Rashard Lewis draped all over him. "We should have won that game easily but we were trying to do some fancy stuff and blew the lead. We were lucky."

Jameer Nelson added 18 points and Grant Hill had 12 as the Magic won their second straight game.

Ray Allen led Seattle with 21 points and Lewis had 16 as the Sonics dropped to 1-4.

"I feel frustrated and a little bit snakebitten," Sonics coach Bob Hill said. "We did everything right just like we're supposed to, except (Turkoglu) made the shot. We're going to win one sooner or later. We just have to keep playing."

Seattle had rallied from an 86-77 deficit in the final three minutes to take an 87-86 lead on a layup by Lewis with 5.7 seconds left in the game.

However, Turkoglu took an inbounds pass from Hill and drilled the game-winner over Lewis from the corner just before time expired.

That stopped a nightmarish three-minute stretch by Orlando during which the Magic turned the ball over four times and missed their only field goal attempt.

Lewis scored five points, Allen hit a 3-pointer and Chris Wilcox added a layup as Seattle ran off 10 straight points.

The Magic hit their first six shots to jump out to a 13-0 lead in the first three minutes against the Sonics, who lost in Miami on Tuesday.

Nick Collison's three-point play put the Sonics ahead for the first time, 28-27 with 8:53 left in the second period. Seattle pushed the lead to 47-42 at halftime, scoring 20 points off Orlando's 12 first-half turnovers.
