The Magic kept their slim Eastern Conference playoff hopes alive with a sixth straight win, but didn't get the two losses they needed even more.

Jameer Nelson had 27 points and all five Orlando starters scored in double figures as the Magic handed the Toronto Raptors their tenth straight defeat, 103-96 Wednesday night.

The win keeps Orlando in the hunt for an eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, but just barely.
