NBA Rescinds Howard's 6th Technical

That right there was how Dwight Howard picked up his sixth technical foul of the post-season, on a play where he was tackled around the neck by Anderson Varejao, but somehow managed to score anyway. This was cause for concern, because one more would get him a one-game suspension, which his Magic could ill-afford to have happen at this late stage of the playoffs.

According to Dwight himself, the league informed him that they have rescinded the technical foul, which is obviously great news for the Magic.

If the league truly wanted to do the right thing, though, they would take the technical they initially gave to Howard, and retroactively assess it to Varejao instead.
