Magic assistant coach Patrick Ewing, whose contract expires at the end of the 2008-09 season, would like to add a head coaching job to his resume.

"Sure, I'd want that very much," said Ewing. "Of course, I would love to get into a great situation, but a job is a job. We'll see what happens."

Dwyane Wade exploded for a career-high 50 points on Sunday night in Miami's 122-99 loss to Orlando, and came away impressed with the Southeast division leaders.

"It's the hardest game you're going to play in the NBA. You have to close out in the paint with Dwight Howard, and then close out to the three-point shooters," Wade said. "Then, you probably have to go back in there and help on Howard and close back out. It's the hardest 48 minutes you're going to play."

Wade also discussed his career mark, which came on 17-for-30 shooting from the floor and 14-for-15 from the foul line.

"No player alone can carry anything, and I've never ever thought that. If anyone thinks that, they're crazy. It takes a team to win, especially to win big and against a good team like Orlando.

"It was bittersweet. It's great to know that you could score 50 points, but it'd be better to walk away with a win."

The Magic might be interested in re-signing center Adonal Foyle if he is waived by the Grizzles.

Foyle, along with point guard Mike Wilks, was apart of the three-team deal last week that netted Rafer Alston.

The Orlando Magic?s Dwight Howard and the Los Angeles Lakers? Pau Gasol today were named the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for games played Tuesday, Feb. 17, through Sunday, Feb. 22.

Howard averaged 25.5 points, a league-best 15.0 rebounds and 4.3 blocks in leading the Magic to a 3-1 week. Howard led Orlando in scoring twice and in rebounding in all four games. His 45-point, 19-rebound, eight-block effort in a 107-102 win over Charlotte on Feb. 17 marked the first time a player tallied 40-plus points, 15-plus rebounds and five-plus blocks in a game since Shaquille O?Neal on March 23, 2001 as a member of the Lakers. The 45 points also marked a career high for Howard.

Gasol won his second straight Player of the Week Award after guiding the Lakers to a perfect 4-0 mark. Gasol averaged 20.3 points on .635 shooting from the field, 10.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.0 blocks. In a 96-83 win over Atlanta on Feb. 17, Gasol recorded his third career triple-double with 12 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. The next night, Gasol tallied 24 points, 13 rebounds and five assists in the Lakers? 129-121 win at Golden State.

With Miami down big to the Orlando Magic on Sunday night, coach Erik Spoelstra removed all of his starters from the floor for garbage time except for Dwyane Wade who was close to 50 points, the Associated Press is reporting.

Spoelstra left Wade in the game until his shot over Courtney Lee gave him 50 points.

?It?s great to know you can score 50 points, but it would be better to walk away with a win,? said Wade, who was 17-for-30 shooting from the floor. ?It?s bittersweet. No player alone can carry everything.?

Orlando defeated Miami by a final score of 122-99.

Magic guard Mickael Pietrus sat out Sunday's game against the Heat because of a sprained right wrist.

Pietrus was injured after crashing to the floor versus the Bobcats on Friday night.

Orlando has listed him as day-to-day.

Rafer Alston was initially shocked about the last-minute deal that sent him from the Rockets to the Magic, but he's excited about landing with a contender.

"To go to a contender, I had a smile from cheek to cheek, from ear to ear when they told me I was coming to Orlando," Alston said on Friday night.

Alston will try to fill the gap left behind by All-Star point guard Jameer Nelson, who is out for the remainder of the season with a shoulder injury.

"Trust me, I understand having to fill the gap for an All-Star caliber point guard. He was having a phenomenal year," Alston said.
