Even in Victory, Magic Say Fouls Against Howard Are Foul

Filed under: Bobcats, Magic, Playoffs

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Magic center Dwight Howard, who has spent the first two games of this playoff series in foul trouble, didn't complain about the officiating. Others did it for him.



In two victories over the Charlotte Bobcats, Howard has played only 28 and 29 minutes, respectively, sitting more than anyone expected he would because of foul trouble.



In two games, he has 10 personal fouls, the same number of points he is averaging, which is eight fewer than he averaged during the regular season.



"I just don't see the other great players in this league on the bench all the time with foul trouble, especially on marginal calls. I just don't,'' said Magic coach Stan Van Gundy. "You're sitting there on all of those, and you're going, 'Wow. Really that's a foul?''
