NBA Notes

PHILADELPHIA - Pat Garrity opened overtime with consecutive 3-pointers and scored a season-high 24 points, Hedo Turkoglu had 25 and the Orlando Magic beat the Philadelphia 76ers, 119-115, on Thursday night for their season-high fifth consecutive win.

Keyon Dooling sank the go-ahead free throws with 1:08 left in overtime and had 18 points. Dwight Howard had 22 to help Orlando run off its longest winning streak since it won six consecutive in 2002. The Magic won their second consecutive road game after losing their previous eight.

Allen Iverson, who appeared to hurt his ankle in the final minute of regulation, scored 38 points and had 15 assists.

PACERS: Jermaine O'Neal is expected to miss at least eight weeks with a left groin tear, leaving the Indiana Pacers without their leading scorer and rebounder.

The news came Thursday, a day after the Pacers acquired sharpshooter Peja Stojakovic from the Sacramento Kings for the volatile Ron Artest.

O'Neal was hurt in the fourth quarter of Indiana's loss at Cleveland on Tuesday. The Pacers said it was doubtful he'd need surgery.

RAPTORS: Toronto fired general manager Rob Babcock just a year and a half after he was hired.

Team president and CEO Richard Peddie made the move a day after Toronto was routed 104-88 by the Chicago Bulls, leaving the Raptors with a 14-29 record - fourth-worst in the league. Wayne Embry, Peddie's senior basketball advisor, will take over for Babcock on an interim basis.

JAZZ: Greg Ostertag was suspended indefinitely for his conduct after a loss to Seattle.

The center did not show up for practice Thursday morning, a day after playing less than 10 minutes in a 113-94 loss to the SuperSonics.

GREEN DIES: Former pro forward Luther "Sally" Green, who played for the New York Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers, has died from lung cancer. He was 59. He died Wednesday at SUNY Downstate Medical Center.
