 Lewis might finally be working out.

The Orlando Magic's often-criticized signing of free agent Rashard Lewis might finally be working out.
Lewis, who averaged 22.4 points in Seattle last season before signing a $118 million deal with Orlando last summer, had 26 points to help the Magic to an easy 102-88 win over Chicago on Tuesday night.
It was Lewis' fifth straight game with 20 or more points after reaching that level only once the previous 12 games. He hit seven of 10 shots, including four of five 3-point attempts, but was more excited by the fact he got to the foul line seven times and made six.
"It's time for me to get a little more aggressive," Lewis said. "I can't just sit out on the wing and be a three-point shooter. That's really not my game. I can do a lot more things for this team."
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy took part of the blame for Lewis be considered only a three-point gunner this season.

Orlando is 24-16. Do they have any shot at beating Boston or Detroit in the Eastern Conference?  |
