Howard collected 19 points and 12 rebounds and Battie added 16 and 12 as the Orlando Magic ended a three-game slide with a 108-92 triumph over the Bobcats. Howard, a 6-11 power forward, and Battie, a 7-foot center, helped Orlando to a 58-24 advantage in points in the paint over Charlotte, which again was without the frontcourt trio of Emeka Okafor, rookie Sean May and Melvin Ely. "Battie and Howard just wore us down," Bobcats coach Bernie Bickerstaff said. "In the second half, they went to work and we had to battle them in the lane. (It was) too much for us to overcome." "We knew they were undersized down low, so we wanted to take advantage of that," Howard said. "Tony played really big for us and was a big key in the win." Charlotte guards Keith Bogans and Brevin Knight marveled at Orlando's tandem and realized their team was at a complete disadvantage. "They (Howard and Battie) are two very good big men," Bogans said. "Dwight can play. He's athletic and he can jump out of the gym. Battie is just a veteran. He's playing well, too. We are without size right now, so they went to our weakness." </div> Another win in the pinstripes... Maybe we should all start wearing pinstripe wristbands or something since wearing these jerseys is against league rules.
Are you serious, we can't wear them? They are even selling Grant Hill pinstripes on the Magic NBA Store website. Anyways, I liked the lineup that was used yesterday with Jameer at the 1, Steve at the 2, and DeShawn playing the SF position since Grant didn't play. GO MAGIC!

GO MAGIC!</div> My only concern was the fact that we gave up 31 in the 1st quarter to the Bobcats without their best player. I really don't think the lineup will work.

We have worn them 5 times if I'm not mistaken so we are running out of times to wear them. As far as the Grant Hill jerseys go, the Magic are trying to get their fans to buy pinstripe jerseys and wear them to all the home games since the team can't use them for much longer.
