Magic go up 3-2
The Orlando Magic took game 5 in Orlando 91-78 over the Philadelpha 76ers. Despite controversy Dwight Howard posted his 4th career playoff 20-20 game, posting 24 points and 24 rebounds. Magic forward Rashard Lewis added 24 points of his own. Sixer Andre Iguodala led all scorers with 26 points. Andre Miller, 17 points, and Willie Green, 16 points, contributed to the effort by the Sixers.
Howard was awarded a technical foul for elbowing Sixer center Samuel Dalembert in the back of the head after jocking for rebound position. The League would review this play and decide a suspension was necessary. Howard is suspended for game 6 in Philadelphia much to the shagrin of Magic fans. Later in the game Howard went for a blocked shot and while coming down he accidentaly elbowed his own teammate Courtney Lee across the face. Lee would leave the game. Hospital tests proved Lee to have a broken sinus. Lee will miss Game 6 as well.
Game 6 will be Thusrday April 30
