Jason Richardson scored 28 of his season-high 31 points in the second half and made nine 3-pointers to lead the Orlando Magic to a 99-94 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night.
The Bucks limited Dwight Howard to 11 points and 14 rebounds, but they had no defense for Richardson, who unleashed a barrage of 3-pointers in the second half that helped Orlando erase a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit and pull ahead.
His ninth 3, and eighth out of nine attempts in the second half, gave Orlando a 94-88 lead with 2:07 to go. The Bucks never got closer than three the rest of the way.
Richardson finished nine for 11 from 3-point range.
Drew Gooden scored 21 points for the Bucks.
