Magic cruises past Wizards
DWIGHT Howard had 23 points and 10 rebounds to lift the Orlando Magic to an easy 112-83 victory over the Washington Wizards yesterday, giving the NBA's newest arena a grand opening.
Vince Carter had 18 points and Jameer Nelson scored 16 to help the Magic cruise to another blowout victory after a perfect preseason.
The No. 1 draft pick John Wall made his debut for Washington, finishing with 14 points and nine assists on 6 for 19 shooting in his first meaningful professional game. He showed flashes of stardom but became just another spectator against Orlando.
The Magic have much time to savor the Amway Center's opening. They get their first shot at LeBron James and the new-look Miami Heat down south today.
Suns 110, Jazz 94
In Salt Lake City, Hakim Warrick and Steve Nash scored 18 points apiece to help Phoenix beat Utah.
The Suns led by as many as 18 points against a Jazz team that played with more intensity than during their 22-point season-opening loss at Denver on Wednesday. But in the end the Jazz still had trouble finding the basket.
Utah shot just 33.3 percent in the first quarter and 42.9 percent for the game, going 3-for-13 on 3-pointers while Phoenix made 10.
Al Jefferson scored 20 points to lead Utah.
Raja Bell also struggled in a game against his former team, scoring just seven points on 3 of 12 shooting.
