Dwight Howard’s 25 points, 24 boards help Orlando snap Miami’s three-game win streak.

Magic 102, Heat 89

THE FACTS: The Orlando Magic tacked 17 3-point field goals onto Dwight Howard‘s 25 points and 24 rebounds in a 102-89 victory over the Miami Heat.

Dwyane Wade scored a game-high 33 points for the Heat, who never led in the first game of a six-gme road trip. LeBron James, who dropped 51 on the Magic in his last trip to Orlando a year ago, had 17 points, six rebounds and 10 assists.

The Magic’s Ryan Anderson scored 24 of his 27 points in the first half and added 11 rebounds.

QUOTABLE: ”Obviously the amount of 3s they were able to take and make really made the difference in the game.”
– Miami coach Erik Spoelstra

THE STAT: Seven Magic shooters combined for 17 3-pointers on a franchise-record 42 attempts.

QUOTABLE II: ”That’s quite a few, even for us, but I would say 35 or 36 of them were good shots.”
– Magic coach Stan Van Gundy

TURNING POINT: The Heat had trimmed a 19-point Magic lead to 10 in three minutes when J.J. Redicknailed a 3-pointer with 6:16 remaining.

HOT: Anderson made his first five 3-pointers and scored 24 points in the first half.

NOT: Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu has scored three points on 1-for-12 shooting in the last two games.

GOOD MOVE: Howard played the entire second half for the Magic.

BAD MOVE: Spoelstra may have waited too long to put James back in the game in the fourth quarter. When James got in with 8:57 left, the Heat were down by 19.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Anderson had 11 more rebounds and has 62 in his last six games.

QUOTABLE III: ”Guys are kind of focused on me out on the perimeter so it gives me an opportunity to kind of sneak behind defenses. And when you play with Dwight, a lot of defenses are sucked on him and it gives me a chance to get my hands on the ball.”
– Magic forward Ryan Anderson

ROOKIE WATCH: Norris Cole got his first start for the Heat in place of injured point guard Mario Chalmers, putting up nine points and four assists in 31 minutes.

NOTABLE: Chalmers bruised his left hand against Cleveland on Tuesday night and missed his first game of the season. … Wade scored 12 points in a span of 2:44 late in the first half. … The Magic have won 17 of their last 22 games against the Heat, but still trail the all-time series, 45-43.

UP NEXT: For the Heat, Friday @ Washington, Sunday @ Atlanta, Monday @ Milwaukee. For the Magic, Friday vs. Atlanta, Saturday @ Milwaukee, Monday vs. Minnesota.
