Dwight targeted then ejected as Spurs sweep Lakers

Dwight Howard may just be the most disrespected All-Star player in NBA history. The Spurs’ 103-82 victory, and a sweep, over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday did little to change that.

Either way, Dwight (and Laker fans everywhere) will take the 106-97 road win in their playoff push....
