WASHINGTON (AP) — Dwight Howard scored 22 points and had 15 rebounds to lead the Orlando Magic to a 110-92 win over the Washington Wizards on Friday in Gilbert Arenas’ return to the Verizon Center.

While the pregame attention was on Arenas, Howard was the star of the game.

A night after playing all 48 minutes in a 104-100 loss to Miami, Howard made his first 10 field goals and didn’t miss a shot until 2:20 remained in the third quarter. Howard’s two dunks and a long jumper, helped the Magic go on a 9-0 run that gave Orlando a 70-62 lead with 3:01 left in the third.

Howard had help from Ryan Anderson, who had 10 of his 19 points in the first quarter, Jason Richardson with 18 points and J.J. Redick, who had 15 points — 12 in the fourth quarter as the Magic won going away.
