Dwight Howard made the Golden State Warriors disappear like the rest of the NBA has done to the team this season.
Howard scored 28 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, as the Orlando Magic defeated the Warriors 117-90 at Amway Arena.
Rashard Lewis added 17 points and Vince Carter chipped in with 15, as the Magic await the defending World Champion Los Angeles Lakers, who will enter the Magic Kingdom on Sunday afternoon.
C.J. Watson led the Warriors with 18 points, while Anthony Morrow added 16, as they dressed just eight players, the league minimum.
The Warriors were without the services of Monta Ellis, Andris Biedrins, Corey Maggette and Vladimir Radmanovic, who were out with various injuries.
Stephen Curry scored just nine points and dished off seven assists, as the Warriors lost for the second time in as many nights on their five-game road trip.
Chris Hunter fouled out with 7:06 remaining in the game, forcing the Warriors to play with just seven players.
