Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - With the "Dwightmare" in their rear view
mirror, the Orlando Magic took their first step in the post Dwight Howard era
on Friday.
It was a step in the right direction.
Glen Davis tallied 29 points and 10 rebounds, while J.J. Redick added
21 points in the Magic's 102-89 thumping of the Denver Nuggets.
Davis and Redick are two of just four holdovers -- Jameer Nelson and Hedo
Turkoglu -- from last year's squad, who fell to the Indiana Pacers in the
first round of the playoffs.
Howard was traded from the Orlando Magic to the Los Angeles Lakers on Aug. 11
as part of a four-team, 12-player deal that also included the Nuggets and
Philadelphia 76ers.
Danilo Gallinari had 23 points to lead Denver, which lost its opener to
Philadelphia on Wednesday.
