Dwight Howard had a career-high 45 points, to go with 19 rebounds and eight blocks, leading the Orlando Magic to a 107-102 overtime victory against the Charlotte Bobcats Tuesday night.

The Magic got 17 points from Rashard Lewis, who joined Howard on the Eastern Conference All-Star team last weekend.

It is the 18th consecutive double-double for Howard, tying a franchise record previously set by Shaquille O’Neal.

J.J. Redick made a three-pointer with eight seconds left in regulation to tie it and Raymond Felton missed a jumper as time expired.
