Magic easy on their first win of the season
Sixers 70 - 89 Magic
Orlando,FL.
With Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis going early in foul trouble,Vince Carter and Jameer Nelson had to take control of the game.That was no problem for the young playmaker and the 11 time all-star VC.Orlando won all of the 4 quarters and had no problems to beat the Sixers in rematch of last year's first round.Big surprise that Orlando scored only 4 three pointers when they are known for their great long range shooting.Vince Carter who played his first game for Orlando showed some hoops.He remembered to all that he's still the best dunker in the game with some gravity defying dunks.
Dwight Howard played a nice all-around game finishing with 16 points,7 rebounds,3 assists and 4 blocks.Vince Carter scored 16 too but he also added 7 assists.The highscorer in this Magic game was the Jameer Nelson who finished with 18 points.Rashard Lewis added 17 to form "fantastic four".Jason Williams played good from the bench with 8 points in 9 minutes.
For 76ers,Andre Iguodala scored 20 points and Elton Brand finished with a double double - 10 points and 10 rebounds.
The Magic are predicted to go for a 2nd straight win over the Nets next night.
