Pierce Takes Out Anger On Jazz Celtics Win 104-98

Turkoglu, Howard Combine for 43; Magic Tame Bobcats 104-95
A lesson that should’ve been learned a long time ago when dealing with Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard - if you play zone defense against him, then you know that someone else on the Magic will pick up the slack.
