Finally, A Real Challenge!

Phoenix Suns Phoenix Suns

Orlando Magic Orlando Magic
15-7, 1st Southeast

After facing bad team after bad team to boost their record after a tough start, the Suns finally get a chance to show how good the are. Tonight they face the top team in the Eastern Conference, 15-7 Orlando, on the road. It will be a tough match-up. The Magic have some great talent on their team, led by the amazing Dwight Howard and a finally healthy Grant Hill.

The focus of this game will of course be on the match-up of the two young studs at center, Howard and Stoudemire. Two years ago, Stoudemire was quickly becoming one of the best big men in the league. Then came the micro-fracture and over a year and a half of recovery time which set him back while Dwight, himself, was starting to make a name for himself. Now Amare is back and is starting to look like the old Amare on offense with an improved defensive game. His recovery went quicker than anyone expected and now he is ready to take on Howard in what should be a great one-on-one battle. Howard has the advantage in rebounding but during this winning streak, Amare has put up 22-12 regularly and will be the toughest challenge that Howard has had this season.
