J.J. Redick foiled a late-game Portland rally with a couple of free throws, lifting the Orlando Magic over the Trailblazers, 107-104.

The Trailblazers had won its first six home games, but came out short against the boys from Florida.

Portland was down by as much as 22 points in the third period. They came back behind the effort of Jamal Crawford.

With 17 seconds remaining, the Trailblazers had cut the lead to two points. Redick then made a couple of free throws to bring the lead up to four. Wesley Matthews then missed a three-point try, and the Magic held on to gain the win.

The win marks Orlando’s second in a row.    

Redick top scored for Orlando with 17 points. He was ably supported by Hedo Torkoglu and Ryan Anderson, who both had 16 markers.

On the other hand, the Trailblazers were led by Crawford and LaMarcus Aldridge, who had 24 and 23 points respectively.
