--C Dwight Howard turned 23 years old Monday. This is his fifth NBA season since coming directly from high school in Atlanta as the No. 1 pick in the 2004 Draft. "I've been the youngest guy on every team I've played on," he said. "Maybe next year, I won't be the kid." Rookie Courtney Lee turned 23 on Oct. 3. --The good start this season has come despite some poor shooting by two of the Magic's top three scorers. Forward Hedo Turkoglu went into Monday night's game shooting 38.9 percent from the field, the lowest shooting percentage of his career. Forward Rashard Lewis is shooting just 41.3 percent, which is the lowest since his rookie season (1998-99).
QUOTE TO NOTE: "They tried to throw some kryptonite at me," said Dwight Howard, who was knocked down Monday by a flagrant foul. "But I shook it off."
