Meanwhile, where NBA teams are still trying to get into the second round……
Last night, both Orlando and Boston both won their respective Game Fives and both took 3-2 leads over their lesser opponents.
However, during the Orlando-Philly game, Dwight Howard got a little bit frisky, and he’s going to pay for it.
Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard has been suspended for one game without pay for Tuesday’s first-quarter elbow to the head of Philadelphia 76ers center Samuel Dalembert.
The NBA announced the suspension Wednesday afternoon.
The league announcement stated that Howard will serve his suspension Thursday night in Game 6 at Philadelphia. The Magic lead the series three games to two after their 91-78 win.
Video replays clearly showed Howard swiping at Dalembert’s head.
There’s an additional piece of drama to it;
A subsequent Howard elbow that made unintentional contact with teammate Courtney Lee has left Lee with a fractured sinus that has already ruled the rookie guard out of Game 6.
