ORLANDO, Fla.(AP) - Dwight Howard had 21 points and 13 rebounds as the Orlando Magic avenged a one-point loss to the New Jersey Nets last month with a 100-84 win Wednesday night.
Vince Carter led the Nets with 18 points, while Jason Kidd had 13 points and seven assists.
Six Magic players scored in double figures. Hedo Turkogluand Rashard Lewisboth scored 19, and Keyon Dooling, Brian Cookand Jameer Nelsoneach added 11.
For the second straight game, Orlando dug itself into a double-digit hole in the first quarter. The Nets took a 15-4 lead within six minutes, punctuated by a reverse alley-oop from Kidd to Carter, plus the foul shot.
At that point, Magic coach Stan Van Gundy put in his reserves, and Dooling and Cook led Orlando on an 18-7 run to tie things at 22. Cook had all 11 of his points in the run, including three 3-pointers, while Dooling scored seven on a 3-point play, two free throws and a jumper.
The Nets pushed the lead back to eight when the Magic failed to score the first 4:20 of the second quarter.
But Orlando took it back, with emphasis, in the second quarter. Howard had back-to-back, backboard-shaking dunks, then Lewis dropped consecutive 3-pointers.
The Magic led 35-32 after a Turkoglu 3-pointer and never relinquished it.
