NBA rescinds Howard's technical

Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard had his technical foul from Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals rescinded by the NBA.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.

“I wasn’t taunting Varejao or anything,” Howard said after the game. “My thing, it was a tough play. He grabbed me around the neck and I made the shot.”
Howard already was suspended one game in the Magic’s first-round series for his elbow on 76ers center Samuel Dalembert. Howard had joked after receiving his fifth technical foul of the postseason that he was going to start wearing thick elbow pads and duct tape his mouth.
“I might have to get some duct tape for real,” Howard said after Game 4.

Duct tape isnt the worst idea I've heard Mr. Howard.
One thing I have noticed is that Lebron James and the Cavs always look angry. Howard and the Magic are frequently smiling, no matter what happens.
