On Wednesday night, for all those who were sitting courtside, with some wearing No.12 Howard jersey, it was just so amazing to watch Dwight Howard have 18 points, 14 rebounds and eight blocks for the Orlando Magic and lead the team to a 118-99 win over the Toronto Raptors.
Rashard Lewis added 21 points and Matt Barnes added 20 to help the Magic cruise to their second straight win with some potent 3-point shooting. Orlando was 14 for 30 from beyond the arc.
The other player who attracted the most attention was Hedo Turkoglu, who appeared in Raptors jersey and was showered with a mix of cheers and boos in the arena where he was a fan favorite before leaving the Magic for Raptors during the offseason. He scored only 14 points for the Raptors.
Top performer from the Toronto was Chris Bosh, who had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assistances, while Howard scored 18 points, 14 rebounds and no assists as the Magic’s top performer.
