Dwight Howard intimated that teammates didn’t stick to their roles in Thursday night’s loss to Boston, in which the Magic lost a 27-point lead.

“We didn’t play the right way and we have to change,” he said.

“Everybody just can’t come down (the floor) and feel like they have to take the game over. You just have to play team-ball and play the way we want to play. We didn’t do that.”

Howard said the team let down after racing to a big lead.

“We thought it was going to be easy after the first two quarters,” Howard said. “We can’t allow that. We have to change.”
