Postgame Report: Magic Lose Heartbreaker to Mavs
DALLAS – The last time the Orlando Magic left Dallas with a victory Dwight Howard was in the middle of the best individual season of his career, Jameer Nelson was the team’s starting point guard and Hedo Turkoglu had just recently returned to the Magic following a blockbuster trade.
That season, the Mavs ultimately won the NBA championship, defeating the Miami Heat in six games in the Finals. On that Jan. 8, 2011 night, though, Howard posted 23 points and 12 rebounds and Turkoglu dished out 17 assists to lead Orlando to the win.
