The Orlando Magic beat the Miami Heat 104-95 on Wednesday, the third straight loss for a talent-laden squad that is off to a disappointing start to the NBA season.
Dwight Howard had 24 points and 18 rebounds while Jameer Nelson scored 11 fourth-quarter points to help the Magic avenge a 26-point loss to the Heat earlier this season.
Two-times reigning NBA Most Valuable Player LeBron James had 25 points and Chris Bosh added 21, but the struggles continued for the Heat, which slipped to 8-7 on the season.
Trailing for most of the game, Miami grabbed a one-point lead with 6:48 remaining but Nelson tallied six points during an 8-0 Magic run that closed out the game for Orlando (10-4).
Nelson, who finished with 17 points and 14 assists, was ejected during the game's final seconds after picking up a second technical foul for jawing with a Miami player.
Miami, which signed James and fellow All-Star Bosh during the offseason to join Dwyane Wade, have yet to display the look of a contender for an NBA title.
