Dwight Howard Wants to Make History by Winning NBA Finals Game 5

"We want to try to make history," Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard said. "We’ve done a lot of things this year as far as a team and individuals and reaching a lot of different goals and breaking records and stuff like that, so why not try and do something else?" Howard said confidently on Saturday that NBA Finals will be headed back to LA for a Game 6. Orlando Magic are 3-1 deficit to LA Lakers.



Stan Van Gundy doesn’t want Magic to believe they can win NBA Finals Game 5 unless they first believe they can still win the championship. That would take a record rally—no team in 29 previous tries has won the title after 3-1 deficit in NBA Finals. Magic’s challenge might be just as hard.

Winning three straight against LA Lakers is another story. Even so, Dwight Howard and Orlando Magic believe they can be the first NBA team to mount such a comeback. So, watch NBA Finals Game 5 this Sunday to see Howard making history.
