Last night the Orlando Magic lost to the Detroit Pistons 85-80 at The Palace of Auburn Hills. The Magic were shorthanded, playing without Rashard Lewis and Mickael Pietrus, but so were the Pistons who were without Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince.
Dwight Howard struggled all night, only playing 16 minutes, fouling out and turning the ball over three times. Ben Wallace and Kwame Brown both did a fantastic job on one of the NBA’s premiere centers, frustrating him all night long, as proven by this following video.

Howard was wrong though, he didn’t “F” anybody up, matter of fact he struggled with foul trouble all night and his team lost, as they normally do against Detroit. The Pistons have defeated the Magic in 20 of their last 25 regular season matchups, including bouncing them in two straight playoff series (2007, 2008).
The Pistons have flat-out owned the Howard and the Magic over the last few years and Orlando was denied of their first ever 4-0 start in franchise history.
