Dwight Howard had 30 points and 16 rebounds on a perfect shooting night to help the Orlando Magic cruise to a 110-92 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.

The Magic used a 37-point second quarter to take a commanding lead and the Rockets never really threatened after that.
Houston cut it to 97-88 on Chase Budinger’s 3-pointer with about 3½ minutes remaining. But Vince Carter hit a 3-pointer seconds later to stretch the lead back to double figures and send most of the fans heading to the exits.
