Awesome Dunk by Wade over Okafor and a Monstrous Dunk by Howard over new posterboy Skinner! Watch

I watched the game between the Clippers and the Magic yesterday and boy what a game it was! Anyone could’ve won it! But of course at the end there was only going to be one winner and it was the Magic who prevailed.

Despite the shooting slump of the Magic’s 2nd & 3rd best player; Lewis & Turkoglu respectively, they have played an excellent defense throughout the game, anchored by who else, Howard. He made sure that the Clippers wont get victory #5. Backed up by his 23 points, 22 rebounds & 6 block shots! He carried his team all the way to victory. But it wasn’t that easy.

Yes, Orlando Magic beat the Clippers, no big deal but the highlights of this game is the battle between 2 centers. One former defensive player of the year and one future defensive player of the year, you know who I am talking about. Marcus Camby and Dwight Howard. Although in the twilight of his career at age 34, Camby was still able to produced impressive stats, 6 points, 17 rebounds and 3 block shots. That maybe half of what Howard made in that game but in my opinion Camby have somehow dominated Howard yesterday, he blocked Howard’s shot twice and played an amazing defense. A lot published news claimed that Howard sent Camby to school but I didn’t think so, Howard grabbed most of his rebounds when Camby was either in the bench or away from the basket, he scored moslty against Zach Randolph and who can forget that thunderous dunk against little Brian Skinner (latest Howard’s posterboy).

To wrap things up, Dwight Howard have still some work to do become Marcus Camby defensively (in his prime), but he is not far away…
