MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- With playoff chances still a limited
possibility, the Orlando Magic are at least looking to end the
season on a good note.

The Magic will try to match a season high with five straight
wins when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Orlando enters Wednesday five games out of a playoff spot, but
has won nine of 12 overall to salvage something of an otherwise
difficult season. Its run continued Tuesday with a 97-93 win at
Chicago.

Jameer Nelson led five players in double figures with 24 points
and the Magic limited the Bulls to just 11 points in the fourth
quarter to rally and win its second straight road game following
a 16-game losing streak away from home.

The Timberwolves claimed their third straight victory at home by
knocking off New York on Sunday, 98-94. Kevin Garnett had 26
points and 15 rebounds for Minnesota, which built a 19-point
lead after three quarters before hanging on.

Nelson had 25 points to lead Orlando to a 107-87 victory
December 30 in the first meeting between the teams.
