Wow. Our worst fear just came true. We lost to the Knicks. No on predicted this, yet everyone knew it could happen. Everyone, except the Dwight Howard and crew. Check out the horrendous boxscore and recap. We had another player get his season high and career high against us tonight: rookie Wilson Chandler. He had 23 points and 8 rebounds to lead the Knicks. Zach Randolph added 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 steals.
This Knicks win was just after an 0-5 record on the most recent road trip. The Magic, for some reason, seemed to run out of gas after the win in Cleveland.
Dwight Howard had 13 points and 15 rebounds for his 66th double-double of the season, tops in the NBA and two shy of Shaquille O’Neal's franchise record set in 1992-93. But despite the double-double, Dwight did not dominate as usual and looked lacksadaisical for the second game in a row. Howard only shot 3-10 from the free throw line tonight. Turkoglu had 22, 6 assists, 2 steals and Nelson had 19 points. Rashard Lewis, due to foul trouble, had only 6 points but added 9 rebounds and six assists. Evans had 16 points, 7 rebounds and hit 4 three pointers.
And here is something to lighten up the mood. A fan ran onto the court with Turkoglu shooting free throws in the fourth quarter, coming from behind one basket and running the length of the floor and into the seats behind the other one before security finally caught him.
