Magic stun Lakers to get better of Howard Dec 3rd 2012, 05:51 Mon Dec 3, 2012 12:51am EST (Reuters) - The Orlando Magic caught fire in the fourth quarter to stun the Los Angeles Lakers 113-103 and get the better of former player Dwight Howard on Sunday. In their first meeting since trading Howard to Los Angeles in the off-season, the struggling Magic surprised the Lakers by scoring 40 fourth-quarter points to snatch the road victory. Arron Afflalo led the way with 30 points while Glen Davis added 23 and 12 rebounds to help Orlando (6-10) snap a three-game losing streak. Kobe Bryant tallied a game-high 34 points and Howard finished with 21 and 15 rebounds against his old team, but it was not enough to help the Lakers (8-9) under new coach Mike D'Antoni. Los Angeles blew out Denver in one of their best performances of the season on Friday, but are just 3-4 since D'Antoni took over. Things have not gone smoothly for Orlando this season since a souring relationship with All Star center Howard led to them trading him to the Lakers. Howard spent his first eight seasons in Orlando.
