Magic use balanced attack to down NetsBasketball Betting Lines03/05/2010 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dwight Howard posted his league-leading 49th double-double with 11 points and 16 rebounds, and the Orlando Magic beat the hapless New Jersey Nets, 97-87, at IZOD Center. Matt Barnes led a balanced scoring attack with 16 points -- 14 in the first quarter, and the Magic have won four in a row heading into Sunday's marquee home matchup with the Lakers. Jameer Nelson added 15 points, while Jason Williams and Vince Carter each had 13 in the win. Mickael Pietrus was the sixth Orlando player in double figures with 10 points. Devin Harris led the Nets' attack with 17 points and 10 assists, although New Jersey lost for the 55th time in 61 games this season. Brook Lopez added 18 points and eight rebounds for the Nets, who never led in the game. Terrence Williams contributed 14 points, while Kris Humphries had 12 in defeat. Orlando wasted no time jumping out to a big lead, finishing the first quarter on a 16-6 burst to grab a 32-18 advantage. Keyon Dooling hit a three shortly into the second quarter to cut New Jersey's deficit to 37-30, and that was the margin heading into halftime, as Orlando held a 50-43 lead. To start the third, Nelson and Carter each hit a three-pointer, while Barnes finished off the 7-0 burst with a free throw for a 14-point cushion. Harris got the Nets back to within nine with five consecutive points but could not get closer than eight in the remainder of the period. A Williams jumper put the Magic's lead back up to 15, 69-54, with 1 1/2 minutes to go, and the visitors carried a 72-57 edge heading to the fourth. Orlando led by double-digits for a majority of the fourth quarter until a Lopez jumper made a 90-81 game with 1 1/2 minutes to play. Pietrus quickly answered with a three for the Magic, and the Nets didn't threaten down the stretch. "That's how we play: give us a lead, and we will play poorly at both ends of the floor," said Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy. "I have no idea (how to correct it). We got the win." Game Notes New Jersey is 3-28 this season at home...Orlando swept the season series, 3-0, and has won seven of the last eight matchups between the teams...The Magic are 19-14 on the road and 13-2 against the Atlantic Division...Nobody other than Howard had more than eight rebounds in the game...Humphries recorded a season- high three blocks.
