Itwas the last chance for Lewis and the rest of the Magic lineup to findrhythm before starting the regular season Wednesday against Milwaukee.The All-Star forward played 24 minutes, just shy of the 30 minutes inhis only two preseason games before getting hurt.

Both teams played their best rotations, though Lewis and Dwight Howard sat out the fourth quarter. So did Tim Duncan, but Spurs coach Gregg Popovich kept playing Tony Parker, Michael Finley, Manu Ginobili and Brent Barry well into the final period.

Arroyo had four points on consecutivepossessions with a 15-foot jumper and an acrobatic layup in traffic.

Lewis broke the drought with ajumper and 3-pointer within 27 seconds that started a 13-6 run.
