Magic Steal One in Cleveland
May 21st, 2009 by ChaI-WalaThe Orlando Magic went into the the Home of the Dominant Cavaliers…got them selves into an early deficit, vandalised Thier Basket ball Rim..and then proceeded to shoot their way to victory. In a game that seemed would be a blow out the Orlando Magic Battled back from as much as a 16 pt deficit in the first half, as they had no answer for Lebron James who set a playoff franchise record for points in the first half with 26pts. to steal game one in Cleveland. Lebron James was his usal dominant self finishing with a career playoff high 49 pts along with 8 asts and 6 rebs but got no help from his bench as they were outscored 25 – 5 in this game. Dwight Howard starred for the Orlando Magic with 30 pts and 13 rebs and one broken shot clock ( when he dunked and broke the shot clock in the first half….we havent seen anything like this since Shaq brought down the rim in the 90’s). But it was the Magic’s hot shooting that got them back into the game and eventually won it for them as they kept hitting big shot after big shot in the 4th quarter. This was the Cavaliers first playoff loss this postseason and will look to bounce back in game 2.
