Semi-Finals Game 2: Orlando M. - Cleveland C. 95-96
Date: May 22, 2009
The Cleveland Cavaliers needed a miracle. LeBron James delivered. James made a fadeaway 3-pointer over Orlando's Hidayet Turkoglu as the final horn sounded Friday night to give the Cavaliers, their season a heartbeat from major trouble, a 96-95 victory over the Orlando Magic that evened the Eastern Conference finals at one game apiece. From 23 feet, matching his jersey number, James made a shot unlike any before in Cleveland history. Taking the inbounds pass from Mo Williams, James only had time to turn his shoulders toward the rim and fire. As the shot dropped in, James sprinted into the arms of his teammates as 20,562 stunned fans hugged in disbelief. In the past, this was the kind of shot that happened against the Cavs. Remember Michael Jordan over Craig Ehlo? Well, James has changed everything in Cleveland. Game 3 is Sunday night in Orlando, where the Magic beat the Cavaliers twice this season and thumped by 29 points on April 3. Rashard Lewis scored 23 points and Hidayet Turkoglu had 21 for the Magic. Dwight Howard scored 10 _ 20 below his Game 1 performance _ and added 18 rebounds. Williams had 19 points and Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 12 points and 15 rebounds for Cleveland.
