LOS ANGELES — The Orlando Magic aren't doing it with smoke and mirrors.

With Dwight Howard a power in the middle, Jameer Nelson and his backcourt mates sharpshooting from outside, the Magic showed their multiple talents with a 109-103 victory over Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers last night.

Howard had 25 points and 20 rebounds, and Nelson scored 15 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter to help Orlando win its sixth in a row. Bryant had 28 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists for Los Angeles, but missed two jumpers in the waning moments.

"It was a big-time win," Nelson said. "We were in Laker Town, and the atmosphere was unbelievable. It definitely was a playoff atmosphere.

"They were trying to out-tough us, but we got tough when we needed to. We have a swagger about ourselves, knowing we're going to get back in the game if we're down."

Howard, who posted his NBA-high 20th double-double of the season, said, "It feels good, man. It was a great win. I'm trying to calm down right now. I'm so hyped up, I feel like I can go play two more quarters."

Although the win gave the Magic a better record (32-8) than the Lakers (31-9), Orlando hasn't been getting nearly as much attention.

"We're flying under the radar. Nobody's really noticing us," Nelson said. "At the same time, it's fine with us."

Bryant's triple-double was the 15th of his career, but first since April 1, 2005.
