Since being named Eastern Conference Player of the Week last month, Magic center Dwight Howard has had his game scrutinized by fans and media members alike. He’s also been named a starter in the NBA All-Star Game.

The grueling 82-game NBA regular season continues to get interesting for the Orlando Magic, even when a hapless team like the Indiana Pacers come to town.The Magic came out in the first quarter against the Pacers looking lethargic and uninspired before winning 106-98.

The Heat had many reasons to be thankful on the eve of Thanksgiving, particularly once a Dwyane Wade air ball was dunked by Michael Beasley with 1.6 seconds left in the game. That concluded a Heat comeback from an 11-point deficit as the Magic were edged 99-98.

It was a roller coaster week for the Orlando Magic off the court, but on the court they were on a roll. After falling to Cleveland, then having no problem knocking off New Jersey, the Magic won four more while returning one all-star to the lineup but losing another in the process.

Tonight Orlando hosts nemesis Detroit at Amway Arena just two days after putting the smackdown on the visiting Suns. It may have been a slow start for the Magic in the opening period, but they finished big with a 122-100 win.

A sellout crowd returned to Amway Arena to welcome back the Eastern Conference Champion Orlando Magic on Wednesday night and witness a thorough 120-106 thumping of the Philadelphia 76ers.
