Howard leads Magic past Heat
March 31st 2009 08:51
At halftime, the Miami Heat had a celebration. After the game, the Orlando Magic were the ones in a joyous mood.
Dwight Howard scored 22 points and grabbed 18 rebounds, passing Wilt Chamberlain as the youngest NBA player to reach the 5,000-board mark, and the Magic kept their grip on the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference by beating the Heat 101-95 on Monday — spoiling a night when Miami retired Alonzo Mourning's number.
Rashard Lewis scored 21 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:32 remaining for Orlando (55-18), which stayed five games behind Cleveland and percentage points ahead of defending champion Boston in the East race.
