Oladipo scores 32 points, Vucevic adds his 24th double double of the season to lead Magic to win over Rockets

How many of you were down at the Amway Center tonight in Orlando Florida? I know I was at the game. Coming into the game the Orlando Magic only had a 4-12 record at home. After watching what I witnessed tonight the Orlando Magic are finding their confidence after beating the Chicago Bulls the other night. Tonight they took on the Houston Rockets here in Orlando. Whenever Dwight Howard tonight touched the ball, the boos were so loud it was like hearing the sound of a cat saying meow really loud, I'm kidding. What threw me for a loop in this game was all of a sudden Dwight Howard was making free throws. I wanted to know where in the world was this when he was playing for us. Booing Dwight Howard was exciting although it was harder for me than most fans, because I miss his defensive presence. Dwight Howard wasn't the show tonight though, even though the boos were entertaining, the show tonight was Victor Oladipo with his sensational dunking athletic ability. Victor Oladipo is my favorite player on the Orlando Magic. I will be honest I wanted the Magic to draft Ben McLemore during the 2013 Draft, because I haven't witnessed Oladipo's game. I am glad they drafted Victor Oladipo instead. To me Dipo reminds me of an athletic Dwyane Wade and a solid defender like Tony Allen of the Memphis Grizzlies. Tonight the Orlando Magic finally won their 5th home game of the season by beating the Houston Rockets 120-113. 6 foot 4 shooting guard Victor Oladipo lead the way with 32 points ,6 assists and 6 rebounds. Center Nikola Vucevic scored 25 points and 12 rebounds. Vucevic currently lead the NBA with 24 double-doubles. I was telling some people that Nikola Vucevic deserves to be an all-star this year. So please do me a favor and vote for Vucevic. I know I have. Rookie Elfrid Payton added 15 points and 6 rebounds. Here are the statistics for each team.

I am wondering if Orlando Magic coach Jacque Vaughn has been reading Twitter, because he finally getting it right putting Victor Oladipo at the 2 instead of the point.  Tonight was the first time in Victor Oladipo's NBA career that he had back to back 30 point games.  Congratulations to the Orlando Magic for a great win for us.  I enjoyed being at the game.  In case you missed the game here are some highlights in the video below of the game.
