Orlando, FL (My Sportsbook) - Dwight Howard finished with 23 points, 14 rebounds and blocked six shots to help the Orlando Magic to a 100-89 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Rashard Lewis also scored 23 points, while Hedo Turkoglu added 22 for the Magic, who shot 56.9 percent from the floor. Courtney Lee shot 8-of-10 to add 19 points off the bench for Orlando, which rebounded from a loss to Boston on Monday to win its fifth out of six.

The Magic held just a six-point lead at halftime, but shortly into the third quarter took command of the game.

Ryan Gomes opened the third with back-to-back jumpers to get Minnesota within 44-42, but Orlando set off on a 20-4 run sparked by a Turkoglu basket and Lewis three-pointer.

Turkoglu later drilled another triple, and ended the stretch with a jumper to increase Orlando's lead to 64-46 with a little more than two minutes remaining. The Magic led 70-50 going into the fourth, and never led by less than 10 the rest of the way.

A Lewis three-pointer and Turkoglu basket capped the back-and-forth first quarter to give Orlando a 23-17 lead. The T-Wolves briefly took the lead in the second, but six straight Orlando points extended its lead to 40-32 after a Lee layup with about 2 1/2 minutes left in the half. The Magic held the margin, and a Randy Foye jumper just before the break trimmed Orlando's lead to 44-38 at the intermission.
