Dwight Howard was huge against the defending Euroleague champion CSKA Moscow on Friday night, finishing with 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 steals in only 28 minutes of action to help the Magic to a 94-66 win, the Associated Press is reporting.

"The obvious difference in the game was Dwight Howard," Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy said. "I don't think they have anybody like him in the Euroleague. They didn't have a chance to stop him, and he really kept taking it at them."

"Dwight was overwhelming," said former Kansas center Sasha Kaun, who was saddled with guarding Howard most of the game. "I played against him in some high school all-star games five years ago and he has really developed some offensive skills. He is so strong and quick that it's really tough to stay with him."
