Magic edge Bobcats 92-77, take 2-0 series lead

VINCE Carter finished with 19 points and Dwight Howard scored 15 as the Orlando Magic took a 2-0 series lead with a 92-77 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats yesterday.

The Magic's star duo was less than stellar, but took over when it counted most. They combined for 21 second-half points to help Orlando build a 20-point lead and hold on late.

Stephen Jackson showed no effects from his hyperextended left knee to score 27 points, and Gerald Wallace had 15 points for the Bobcats. But their 21 turnovers are a big reason why they're heading home still searching for the franchise's first playoff win.

Game 3 in the best-of-seven series is Saturday in Charlotte.
