2009 NBA Playoffs: Game 5 - Orlando Magic 91 Philadelphia 76ers 78 (Highlights)

Game 5: Orlando Magic 91 Philadelphia 76ers 78

Analysis: This game was all about Dwight Howard, who completely dominated the boards with 24 rebounds, including 10 offensive rebounds. Thanks to Dwight, the Magic were about to outrebound the 76ers 45 to 33 and they took 8 more shots than the 76ers. I think Orlando goes on to win this series now that they have protecting their home court and won Game 5. It might still be a 7 game series though.

Key Players of The Game

Dwight Howard: 24 points and 24 rebounds from Dwight was a dominating performance. He'll need to have another game like that for the Magic to close the series out in Philly.

Rashard Lewis: Lewis finally decided to step his game up and finished with 24 points on 9 of 16 shooting, including 3 of 5 from downtown.

Andre Iguodala: Iguodala has been exceptional in this series and I'm actually kind of surprised how consistent he has played. He finished with 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists, but didn't get enough help from his teammates for the 76ers to win.
