The Los Angeles Lakers are in the midst of a chippy battle with the eighth-seeded Orlando Magic.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, reserve center Dwight Howard was fouled by multiple Magic players near the basket.
After the foul was called, some Magic players continued to get in Howard’s way, and the center took exception in his own way.

After a Magic player came to his teammate’s defense and pushed Howard, Jared Dudley retaliated with a push of his own.
The Lakers are looking for their 22nd win of the season and hold onto the first seed in the Western Conference.
Howard currently has two points and five rebounds as the Lakers hold onto a slim lead.
