ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 12 (Ticker) -- Mike Miller returned and spoiled the home debut of the new-look Orlando Magic. Miller scored six of his nine points in the fourth quarter as the Memphis Grizzlies held on for a 99-95 victory over the Orlando Magic, who got 16 minutes from Grant Hill. After Hedo Turkoglu's 3-pointer with 3:54 remaining gave the Magic a 93-88 lead , the Grizzlies responded with an 11-2 run to close the game. Jake Tsakalidis hit a pair of free throws to cut the deficit to 93-92 with 3:11 to play and Miller added a layup just 33 seconds later to give the Grizzlies the lead for good. A former member of the Magic, Miller added a free throw with 2:08 left before Brian Cardinal hit four consecutive free throws to cap the win. Hill, who is attempting to return from a fourth surgery on his left ankle, scored two points. After playing just 47 games in the previous three seasons, Hill had a pair of free throws and was 0-of-4 from the floor. A handful of players made their Magic debut in the loss. Steve Francis, acquired with Cuttino Mobley and Kelvin Cato as part of an offseason trade that sent All-Star Tracy McGrady to the Houston Rockets, had 19 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Mobley scored 24 points, including three 3-pointers. Turkoglu, signed as a free agent in the offseason, chipped in 15. Forward Dwight Howard, selected first overall in the 2004 draft, was impressive in his debut. The 18-year-old rookie scored 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting but showed inexperience in the fourth quarter, missing four consecutive free throws with the Magic clinging to an 88-86 lead. Stromile Swift scored 16 points in just 13 minutes and Pau Gasol had 12 and 10 boards for Memphis. --
