MILWAUKEE, March 28 (UPI) -- Dwight Howard scored 25 points Friday and the Orlando Magic established a franchise-record with its 24th road win of the season in blasting Milwaukee 103-86.
The Magic are coasting to the playoffs with an 8 1/2-game lead over Washington in the Southeast Division.

Howard scored 14 points in the first period, at the end of which Orlando had a 34-23 lead. Orlando boosted its advantage to 17 at the break and then opened the second half with a 15-6 run.
Orlando won for only the second time in its last 10 trips to Milwaukee.
