Jul 18, 2004 8:26 PM EST

The #1 pick in the 2004 NBA draft, Dwight Howard, torched the Celtics for 26 points, helping Orlando to a 119-106 victory.

Many have been skeptical of Howard, saying he is not physically ready to play in the league; however this last outing is a step in the right direction.

Delonte West had 20 points for the C's, while Keith Bogans had 38 for Orlando and Snap Hunter added 21. Bogans made 4-of-6 treys and 13-of-17 overall as his club shot 57 percent.
