ORLANDO, Fla. -- With another late lead slipping away, Goran Dragic asserted himself for the Phoenix Suns. Dragic scored his teams final seven points in a decisive end-of-game burst that helped the Suns hold off the Orlando Magic 104-96 Sunday night. "We had an answer every time they got close, but past games we didnt," Dragic said. "Im happy we responded like that. The ball circled around nicely, everyone got touches and everyone was dangerous to score, and that was the key to the game." Dragic scored 23 points and Gerald Green added 20 to lead a balanced attack as the Suns became the first NBA team since 1977 to win while only making one free throw. Phoenix went 1 for 3 from the foul line, the fewest free throws ever made and attempted against the Magic. "We did a great job of finishing the game. ... We took the right shots, we didnt try to force anything," Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said. "We just made the right play." Two nights after stopping a four-game losing streak with a seven-point win at Charlotte, the Suns took the lead early in the first quarter and never relinquished it. After Orlando trimmed what had been a 14-point deficit to three late in the fourth quarter, Channing Frye made a difficult jumper and Dragic scored the games next seven points to put it away. Dragic made 10 of 17 shots and also had 13 assists. Frye finished with 14 points and seven rebounds. "We have been having a hard time holding leads. ... Goran did an excellent job of closing out the game," said Green, who made four 3 -pointers and grabbed eight rebounds. "He is a savvy point guard in this league. When he makes plays like that it is hard to stop us." Nikola Vucevic led Orlando with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Reserve Andrew Nicholson had 19 and Aaron Afflalo added 16 for the Magic, who have lost four straight and seven of eight overall. "Give them credit offensively, they have some shot-makers out there. Guys that can get the balls in their hands and make plays and shots," Orlando coach Jacque Vaughn said. Phoenix played for the fourth straight game without leading scorer Eric Bledsoe, whos still bothered by a bruised left shin. Green filled in, scoring 15 of his 20 points in the first two quarters to help the Suns build a 53-44 halftime lead. Reserves Marcus and Markieff Morris also had big nights, combining for 28 points and 13 rebounds. Marcus Morris had 16, including a jumper that gave Phoenix its biggest lead at 88-74. Markieff Morris finished with 12, the last of his baskets helping the Suns remain in control while Orlando was making its final push for the lead. Jameer Nelson, who had 11 of his 15 points in the second half, made two 3-pointers during a 16-5 run that carried the Magic back into the game. He made a pair of free throws to trim the deficit to 95-92 with just over 3 minutes left, however that was as close as it would get down the stretch. Frye steadied the Suns with a 12-foot jumper. Dragic followed with a driving layup, then a 3-pointer and 17-foot jumper to finish a 9-0 spurt that built the lead back to 12. Magic rookie Victor Oladipo missed nine of his first 10 shots and finished 3 of 12 for six points. Glen Davis had eight points in his second game back from a left foot injury that had sidelined him since last January. Tobias Harris made his season debut for the Magic after being sidelined for five weeks by a high left ankle sprain. The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 17.3 points over the final 27 games of last season, and Orlando has missed his scoring and rebounding while getting off to a 4-9 start. "Its a lot going on, (we) just have to get some type of rhythm back as a team, some type of consistency back offensively and defensively, and move forward," Afflalo said. NOTES: The last team to win a game while only making one free throw was the New Orleans Jazz, who went 1 for 5 against the Houston Rockets on Nov. 19, 1977. ... Bledsoe leads the Suns in scoring at 20.4 points per game. ... Harris scored six points on 3-of-8 shooting and had one rebound in 16 minutes. ... The victory lifts Phoenix back over .500 at 7-6.

When he took the mound, he surprised just about everyone with his performance. McHugh struck out a career-high 12 in his season debut to lead the Houston Astros to a 5-2 win against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night, extending Seattles losing streak to eight games. McHugh (1-0) was told he was being called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday and flew to Seattle. It wasnt until he got to the team hotel late Monday night that he found out he was going to start for the Astros on Tuesday. Before the game, Houston coach Bo Porter characterized McHugh as a "pitch to contact guy," but the Mariners made almost no contact. McHugh struck out the first three batters he faced to set the tone for his first win in 10 career starts. "That was outstanding. Thats what you call seizing the opportunity," Porter said. The right-hander didnt walk a batter, giving up three hits in 6 2-3 shutout innings. "I dont think anybody prepares to go out and strike out a bunch of people. But I knew I had pretty decent command today with two or three pitches," McHugh said. "It was really good to kind of get the proverbial gorilla off your back with a W." McHughs stuff caught the Mariners off guard as well, as they only reached second once against him. "He was a little different than the scouting report we got. He was 94 (miles an hour) with a pretty good cut slider," Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said. "He threw exceptionally well tonight." The Astros offence gave McHugh plenty to work with, as Jason Castro and Chris Carter each hit homers to give Houston a 3-0 lead after two innings. Seattle starter Erasmo Ramirez (1-3) struck out eight over six innings and only allowed three hits, but they included the two costly homers. Three at-bats into the game, Castro just cleared the left field wall for a two-run homer, his fourth. Carter followed in the second inning with a shot to left that landed in the second deck for hhis first homer of the year.dddddddddddd Seattles Dustin Ackley tried to counter with a deep ball to left in the bottom of the second, but Matt Dominguez made a leaping catch at the wall to end the inning. Dominguez added a homer of his own in the top of the seventh to give Houston a 4-0 lead. The Astros have now won two in a row after a seven-game losing streak, and their offence -- which entered Tuesdays game with a major league-worst .196 batting average -- is finally showing some signs of life. "Once the whole offence is flowing like it is the last couple games, you kind of get in a little groove with it," Dominguez said. "Its been nice being able to score some runs." McHughs 12th strikeout came against Robinson Cano to leadoff the bottom of the seventh, but Porter brought on reliever Raul Valdes with two outs in the inning. McHugh had thrown 89 pitches, well above his high of 73 pitches in his minor league outings this year. Valdes walked Kyle Seager and then gave up a two-run home run to Justin Smoak, Seattles only offence of the game. McHughs call up came after Scott Feldman was placed on the disabled list with biceps tendinitis. Feldman will miss at least one more start, possibly giving McHugh more chances to show what he can do. "He didnt do anything to hurt his chances of sticking around," Porter said. "He definitely earned his keep." NOTES: The crowd of 10,466 was the fifth-lowest in Safeco Field history. Six of the seven lowest crowds at Safeco have been matchups with the Astros, all coming since the start of last season. ... Seattle RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (finger) was scheduled to pitch in a rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A Tacoma, but instead threw a simulated game at Safeco Field on Tuesday afternoon due to weather concerns. McClendon said the outing went well, and Iwakuma will have a rehab outing with Tacoma on Sunday. ... Astros RHP Lucas Harrell, designated for assignment on April 16, cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
