Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard had his technical foul from

Source (CBSSports.com) (C - orl) | 0 comments.

News: Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard had his technical foul from Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals rescinded by the NBA. Howard was given his sixth technical of the playoffs for taunting Anderson Varejao after a layup in the fourth quarter of the Magic's 116-114 overtime victory Tuesday night. Cleveland's forward had draped his arms around Howard in a failed attempt to stop him from scoring. The NBA announced it was rescinding the foul Wednesday. Under league rules, Howard would have been automatically suspended for one game if he received a seventh technical during the playoffs. The Magic lead the Cavaliers 3-1 in the best-of-seven series. Game 5 is Thursday night in Cleveland. Howard and Magic coach Stan Van Gundy were baffled by the technical Tuesday, saying after the game that Orlando's center had simply made a big basket and was enthusiastic in the moment. [...]

Dwight Howard was good for 27 points and 14 rebounds in the Magic's clutch 116-114 overtime victory over the Cavaliers on Tuesday. They now lead the series 3-1.

Our View: Howard was a beast in this game as well, shooting 10-of-16 from the field with three blocked shots and a steal. But the big man picked up another technical foul. If he gets one more he will be suspended for the Magic's next game. They could finish off the Cavs and possibly not have their best player for Game One of the NBA finals.
