MIAMI, March 30 (UPI) -- Dwight Howard had 22 points and 18 rebounds Monday to lead the Orlando Magic to a 101-95 victory over the Miami Heat.

Rashard Lewis added 21 points for Orlando, which has won six in a row and nine of its last 10 games. The Magic moved into a tie with idle Boston for the second spot in the NBA East -- with nine games remaining, two more than the Celtics.

Howard became the youngest player to reach 5,000 NBA career rebounds at 23 years and 112 days, as finished the night with 5007. He broke a record held by Wilt Chamberlain.

Dwyane Wade led the Heat with 42 points. Only two other Heat players reached double figures -- Mario Chalmers with 13 points and Jermaine O'Neal with 10.

Miami has lost three of its last four games and fell to four games behind fourth-place Atlanta.
