PLAYER NOTES: --G Courtney Lee sure looked confused trying to guard Dwyane Wade on Monday. Lee fouled out after just 16 minutes, which was the first time he has fouled out in his NBA career. He had five fouls last month against the Heat when Wade scored 50 points against the Magic. This time, Wade had just 42.
--C Dwight Howard became the youngest player (23) in NBA history to record 5,000 rebounds in his career. He broke the mark during his 18-rebound effort Monday against the Heat. Wilt Chamberlain had held the record.
--F Rashard Lewis has broken out of his shooting slump. As part of his 21-point night against the Heat, he made five of six shots from 3-point range. The biggest came in the closing minute, when he hit a 3-pointer to snap a 92-92 tie.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--G Jameer Nelson (torn right labrum) is out for the season after surgery.
--G Mike Wilks (torn ACL) is gone for the season, recovering from surgery on his right knee.
