"Dwight Howard endured the worst reception of his NBA career on Tuesday night.
He then promptly turned in probably his best performance of this season.
Howard scored a season-high 39 points, had 16 rebounds and was sent to the free-throw line 39 times by his former team as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Orlando Magic 106-97.
The victory came in Howard's first return to Orlando since his drama-filled off-season trade to the Lakers. He endured a chorus of boos throughout, and tied his own NBA record for free-throw attempts.
The majority of them came as the Magic tried to employ an intentional-foul strategy. It backfired, though, as the all-star centre hit on 16-of-20 attempts in the second half. It silenced his detractors and, more importantly, helped the Lakers secure their fourth straight victory and keep from slipping in their playoff chase." info@als-alexander.orgor interalex1@yahoo.com
