THE Orlando Magic blew away the slumping Houston Rockets in the third quarter en route to a 110-95 win and their eighth consecutive victory on Friday.
The Rockets kept pace early to trail 53-50 at halftime, but the Magic racked up 17 unanswered points in the third quarter to take command and send the Rockets crashing to their fourth successive loss.
Brandon Bass and Jason Richardson scored 18 points each to lead the Magic, while Ryan Anderson scored 16 off the bench.
Dwight Howard was limited to just under 27 minutes due to foul trouble but contributed a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Rockets guard Kevin Martin led all scorers with 27 points, but scored just eight in the second half while the Rockets offense fell apart.
Luis Scola scored 14 points and Patrick Patterson added 12 off the bench.
Elsewhere, Kobe Bryant had 25 points to move into ninth place on the NBA's career scoring list, as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the New Orleans Hornets 101-97.
Pau Gasol had 21 points and 13 rebounds for the two-time defending champions, who have rebounded from a prolonged holiday skid and stories of minor team discord with five wins in six days.
David West had 23 points and 12 rebounds for the Hornets.
