Video Vault:

1) For the Magic it was a cathartic win that meant a lot to several players and to the fans. For the Lakers? At least for Drew Garrison of Silver Screen and Roll, it was an embarrassing loss.

2) Last night was karma for Dwight Howard according to George Diaz of the Orlando Sentinel.

3) Dwight Howard remained quiet about his time in Orlando, continuing to put his focus on the future but not too far in the future, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel writes.

4) As Evan Dunlap of Orlando Pinstriped Post points out, the Magic decided to run it against Mike D'Antoni and won.

5) Jameer Nelson was not even supposed to play last night as he continues to nurse tendonitis in his left Achilles, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel writes. He was added to the lineup 15 minutes before tip off (or at least that is what the press knew) and it was a good thing as he was the driving force of a 40-point fourth quarter.

6) Did anybody care about Josh McRoberts return to Los Angeles? Mark Medina of Inside the Lakers did.

7) Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel asks the question many people around the nation are asking: Did WKMG reporter David Pingalore "antagonize" Dwight Howard with questions about playing his former team last night?
