NBA
Semi-Finals Game 4: Cleveland C. - Orlando M. 114-116
Date: May 26, 2009
As LeBron James pulled up for the final shot, Orlandos crowd gasped, Magic coach Stan Van Gundy gulped and time stood still. Spinning through the air, James 3-pointer looked good. Not this time, MVP. This was a Magic night. Dwight Howard scored 10 points in overtime and Orlando, raining down 3-pointers like a Florida thunderstorm, withstood 44 points and the last-second fling by James for a 116-114 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night to take a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. The resilient Magic, who have overcome injuries, double-digit deficits and a spat between their star and coach, are one win from their first trip to the NBA finals since 1995. Rafer Alston scored 26 points. The Magic, who won a Game 7 in Boston in the last round, can close out the Cavaliers in Cleveland on Thursday night. Howard finished with 27 points, 14 rebounds and again made his free throws 7 of 9and the Magic made a team playoff record 17 3-pointers. Rashard Lewis (6'10'-F-79) and Mickael Pietrus (6'6'-F-82, agency: Court Side) had 17 points each for Orlando. James added 12 rebounds and seven assists, but he had eight turnovers for the Cavs, whose season of seasons is slipping away.
