Game 5 couldn’t have ended any worse for Orlando. Not only did the Magic collapse in the 4th, basically giving the game away, but the aftermath was the hardest part to deal with. A day after publicly criticizing and challenging his head coach’s strategy in game 5, Dwight Howard apologized to Stan Van Gundy.
"We can't give up hope,” Howard said Wednesday. "We're in this series to win it. We are going to win this series… Getting the ball shouldn't be a big issue for me. There's more ways to dominate the game than scoring. Me and coach, we talked about that. I just can't let my frustrations get to the point where I'll say anything.”
