Gilbert Arenas scored 22 points Tuesday night and the Orlando Magic made a season-high 19 3-pointers in a 110-95 road victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, their fourth straight win.
The Magic scored 35 points in the fourth quarter - 21 on 3-pointers - to break open a game they led by one point after three periods. Even more impressive, they did it with superstar center Dwight Howard on the bench.
Howard left the game with four fouls late in the third quarter and didn’t need to return. Ryan Anderson sank a pair of 3-pointers in the first minute of the fourth quarter, and Orlando quickly pulled away.
The 19 3-pointers allowed by Cleveland were the most in franchise history, surpassing the 18 surrendered in a road loss earlier this month at Minnesota.
Jason Richardson scored 20 points and J.J. Redick had 14 for the Magic, who got from 54 points from their bench. Howard finished with 12 points and six rebounds.
Antawn Jamison scored 21 points, Daniel Gibson had 15 before fouling out and Mo Williams and Anderson Varejao each had 14 for the Cavaliers. All of Williams’ points came in the first quarter.
