Orlando, Fla. ? Tracy McGrady had a record-setting night that felt strangely empty.

McGrady scored a team-record 62 points, becoming just the third NBA player in the past dozen years to score that many, in the Orlando Magic’s 108-99 victory over the Washington Wizards Wednesday night.

“I really didn’t enjoy it, but I should have,” McGrady said. “Usually when I have a big game like this, the crowd is going crazy and I like getting into it with them, but I didn’t feel it tonight.

“I couldn’t get into it because of the record we have, the fact we’re not going nowhere after the regular season — it’s just frustrating.”

McGrady broke Shaquille O’Neal’s team record of 53 points set against Minnesota in 1994. It was the league’s first 60-point game since O’Neal had 61 for the Lakers against the Los Angeles Clippers March 6, 2000.

In the past 12 years, only David Robinson (71 vs. the Clippers April 24, 1994) and Michael Jordan (63 vs. Orlando Jan. 16, 1993) have scored as least 62 points in a game.

McGrady shot 20-for-37 from the field, including 5-for-14 from three-point range, and made 17 of 26 free throws in 46 minutes. He also had 10 rebounds and five assists.

“This might be a good place for us to start building momentum for next season,” Magic coach Johnny Davis said. “That was a great individual performance by an amazing basketball player, and the icing on the cake is that we won the game.”

McGrady showed little emotion while scoring 55 of his points during the final three quarters — most on jump shots from the 18- to 20-foot range.

“We could have stopped him by fouling him real hard, but you don’t want to play dirty basketball,” said Washington guard Gilbert Arenas, who fell one short of his career-high with 40 points. “You just got to let him play and once he gets it rolling, he’s really hard to stop.

“I was just sitting there watching in amazement,” Orlando’s Keith Bogans said.
