A Taylored Review: Dwight Howard’s First Game Back in Orlando
Tuesday night’s Lakers-Magic game didn’t exactly pan out the way Magic fans wanted it to, but it at least provided some sort of closure to the whole Dwight Howard situation. The Lakers beat the Magic, 106-97, behind Howard’s 39-point performance at the Amway Center in his first game back since being traded to the Lakers.
I say the game provided some sort of closure for Magic fans because it really did. The game provided a venue for fans to yell, scream, and otherwise show Howard exactly how they felt in a way that didn’t make them look crazy. Yell and scream is exactly what Magic fans did — each time Howard touched the ball the arena filled with boos. It did become apparent, though, that as the game went on, those boos faded a bit.
