ORLANDO, Fla. -- Brandon Roy scored 27 points to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to their first road win with a 106-99 victory over the Orlando Magic on Monday night.
Dwight Howard had 29 points and a season-high 18 rebounds and Hedo Turkoglu added 35 points for the Magic, who finished their homestand 4-1.
Point guard Steve Blake and reserve Travis Outlaw had 20 apiece as Portland's bench outscored Orlando's 40-12. Portland has played six of its first seven games against teams that won at least 52 games last season and is 3-3 against them. Orlando has played only three 2007-08 playoff teams this season, and is 2-1.
Trailing 73-72 entering the final period, Portland scored the first 11 points of the fourth quarter, fueled by two 3-pointers by Rudy Fernandez. He finished with 16 points.
The Trail Blazers held a 91-79 lead with 3:55 left before Turkoglu did his best to keep Orlando close, scoring 11 of their next 13 points. His 3-pointer cut it to 98-92 with 50 seconds left, but the Blazers were 8-for-10 from the foul line after that to seal the victory.
Howard, who has struggled at the line this season shooting just 48 percent (15-for-33) was 9-for-12 in the first half before missing four of six tries in the fourth quarter as the Magic tried to cut into Portland's lead.
Greg Oden, the No. 1 pick who sat out all of last season after knee microfracture surgery, missed the game with a right foot injury sustained in the season-opener. Joel Przybilla, who's averaging 4.5 points and 9.7 rebounds, continues to start in his place.
Przybilla did not score in the first half and finished with two points.
The Magic embark on a three-game road swing, including a Friday stop in Dallas. Portland stays on the road for three more games before returning home.

I watched this game, it was a very good game. I recall Howard attempting a bank shot and Joel received a BS foul. Roy was tough as usual, getting where he wanted practically whenever. Rudy played great, he could drive a bit more though. He tends to settle for the trey a bit. Aldridge had his jumper going early, then it faded. All in all it was a good game to watch, Orlando never looked in control, even of themselves.
Rudy's as good as advertised, I'll give you that.
tlong still riding the blazers as hard as pamela rides her man
^ lucky
although u probably get 7 stds just talking to her
I'm pretty sure that's not her man, I was just making a joke.
I was about to say...damn she has changed since that last porn tape
nice job
I wonder why NBA.com has us at 6th seed right now... we have the same record as Houston (5th seed), but currently we hold the tie breaker over them... they have the better conference record, but that's what you use if the head-to-head record splits, right?
Shouldn't the tentative seeding go Blazers 5th, Rockets 6th?
It doesn't matter. We've only played 7 games.
