 ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Wherever you are, Dwyane Wade, your defending champion Miami Heat need you. Miami lost again without Wade and his 27 points per game, putting in two of its worst quarters of the season in a 97-68 loss to the Orlando Magic on Saturday night.
Dwight Howard had 18 points and 10 rebounds, helping Orlando own the paint with Shaquille O'Neal also out. The Magic outscored Miami inside 50-14, and commanded the game for all but the opening minutes.
"They don't want to admit it in there, but we just got manhandled, absolutely manhandled on the boards, in the paint," Heat coach Pat Riley said. "Defensively, they were up and into us and we could never really get anything going at all."
