(Sports Network) - The third-seeded Orlando Magic attempt to take a commanding 3-0 lead over No. 6 Toronto, as the teams resume their first-round playoff series tonight at Air Canada Centre.

This is a best-of-seven series. Game 4 is scheduled for Saturday in Toronto.

On Tuesday, Dwight Howard ended with 29 points and 20 rebounds and the Magic held off multiple rallies to defeat the Raptors, 104-103, in Game 2 at Amway Arena. Howard shot 12-for-17 from the floor, blocked three shots and corralled one final rebound as the horn sounded after Toronto's Chris Bosh missed a potential game-winning jumper.

Jameer Nelson and Rashard Lewis had 18 points apiece for the Magic and Hedo Turkoglu scored 12 - including the go-ahead bucket - to go along with nine rebounds.

Bosh finished with 29 points and 10 rebounds for Toronto, but scored just six in the second half. Jason Kapono added 20 points off the bench for the Raptors, while Jose Calderon contributed 18 points and five assists.

In Game 1, Howard scored 25 points, pulled down 22 rebounds and swatted five shots as Orlando jumped out to a big lead and held on from there to defeat Toronto, 114-100.

Toronto is 2-3 all-time in Game 3s in the postseason. The Raptors have never won a best-of-seven playoff series (0-2).

Orlando has dropped two of its last three Game 3s in the playoffs. The Magic have dropped five straight road games in the postseason.

This is the first time the Magic and Raptors have met in the postseason. Both teams were eliminated in round one last year, as Orlando was swept by the Pistons, 4-0, and Toronto was knocked out by New Jersey, 4-2.

During the regular season, Orlando was 2-1 against Toronto. The Magic defeated the Raptors, 102-87, on March 4 at Amway Arena, while the teams split a pair of contests at Air Canada Centre.
