The Orlando Magic dropped Game 1 of their series to the Detroit Pistons last night by a score of 91-72.

According to the Associated Press, "Dwight Howard... had a relatively quiet night with 12 points, eight rebounds and three blocks after being the first player to score 20 points and grab 20 rebounds in three playoff games since Wilt Chamberlain did it in 1972... Howard injured his left thumb trying to get a rebound late in the third quarter and played with blue tape protecting it."
