Magic 92, Blazers 83

ORLANDO, Florida (AP) — The Orlando Magic overcame a sluggish first half to beat the Portland TrailBlazers 92-83 on Friday and reclaim a share of the lead in the NBA’s Southeast Division.

Dwight Howard had 12 points, 20 rebounds and four blocks to help Orlando beat Portland for the sixth time in the past seven meetings.

Portland’s Brandon Roy had 33 points but the Trail Blazers ran out of energy in the second half, shooting just 34 percent and being outrebounded 54-35.

The score was 76-76 with 6:53 left before the Magic went on an 11-0 run to seize control.
