The Magic by the way won that game 91-78.The Orlando Sentinel reports here Check out video of the incident from NBA.com and the You Tube Part of the reason Howard has no arguement with this, the league has the right to suspend Howard, who recieved his 2nd technical of the playoffs and his 14th of the season. The 76ers, for there part are protesting/complaining rather loudly about Howard's physicality. Needless to say, Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy is none to pleased about the complaints and complains about the complaints.((more thanks Orlando Sentinel for the video)) So now, Game 6 is in Philly a...
