Howard's Free Throws Change Game 2

Filed under: Hawks, Magic, NBA Playoffs

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Superman bleeds. And he makes free throws, too.



Dwight Howard, who loves the more-powerful-than-a-speeding-locomotive moniker he stole from Shaquille O'Neal, looked pretty silly Thursday going to the free-throw line early in the third quarter with a pair of cotton sticks stuck up his nostrils to slow a nosebleed.



He missed that free throw as the blood was dripping through -- and went to the locker room briefly -- but he didn't miss after that.



Howard made 13 of 18 free throws Thursday, the most he has made since a regular-season game January 20th, foiling the foul-early, foul-often strategy the Hawks tried to use in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series.
