ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Ryan Anderson and Dwight Howard teamed for 52 points Wednesday in pacing Orlando to its fourth win in five games, a 102-89 decision over Miami.

Orlando attempted 42 3-pointers and made 17 of them to end the Heat's three-game winning streak. Miami played the opener of a six-game road trip.

Anderson scored 27 points and Howard had 24 rebounds to go with his 25 points. Howard is the runaway NBA leader in rebounds this year.

Orlando led by as many as 19 points early in the fourth quarter, getting five long-range shots from Anderson.

Dwyane Wade paced Miami with 33 points, 18 of which came in the second period. LeBron James had 17 points and 10 assists.

It was the final regular-season meeting of the year between the teams and they split their four contests.
