Lebron Seals The Deal!!!



With A 12 Point Lead At Half Time The Cleveland Cavaliers Looked to be in Cruise control going into the second half. After making a few adjustments, the Orlando Magic got things going as the stats show Orlando taking the 3rd quarter 25-19 which cut the lead to six going in to the 4th. The fourth quarter was a see-saw battle until we got down to the last two minutes of the game where things really started to boil. With the Magic down by 3 Rashard lewis drives and kicks to Hedo Turkoglu for a clutch 3 ball to tie things up. On the Cavs Next possession Lebron James is called for a travel which was a good call by the refs, which gave Orlando the ball with a 6 second differential between the shot clock and game clock. Hedo Turkoglu has the ball at the top of the key and as he drives he is fouled by Sasha Pavlovic
with 13.2 secs remaining. Taking into consideration that it was a non shooting foul the shot clock was reset therefore giving Orlando the final possession(so we thought). The Ball is inbounded to Turkoglu who kills as much clock as he can before hoisting up a mid-range jumper to put Orlando ahead by 2 with 1 second left on the clock. The Cavaliers are on their heels now because they realize that going down 0-2 in the series with the next 2 games being on the road is not a good look. So, With Mo Williams inbounding Lebron James breaks free from being guarded by Turkoglu receives the pass and hits what was possibly the most clutch 3-ball of his career to take Gm.2. Congrats is in order for the Cavaliers, the Orlando Magic also deserve alot of credit because they showed that they could thrive in pressure situations. Final Score Orlando 95 - 96 Cleveland

Simply One For The Books!!!!
