Dwight Howard: Records first double-double of series Monday

After recording just 18 combined points in the first three games, Howard as much
more effective on the offensive end in this one and rounded out his
double-double by leading the team in boards. His strong play also his breaking
of the 30-minute barrier for the first time in four games and he led all Hawks
starters with a plus-eight rating. Howard will need to deliver more performance
such as this for his team to stand a chance of pulling out this hotly-contested
series, as he is still averaging just 8.5 points and 11.8 rebounds per game in
the postseason despite this most recent development.
