Drake - Best I Ever Had
The Eastern and Western Conference Finals are some of the best games of this year...and what I like best is that each team boasts a key member of the 2008 Olympic team.
Full 48
The Cleveland Cavaliers outlasted the Orlando Magic 96-95, however just like the Lakers in their first game against Denver...the Lake Show won, but they really should have taken a loss.
The Cavs blew another big lead, and the Magic were about to win 95-93 to go up 2-0 in the series...however after Hedo Turkoglu all but closed the door on Cleveland, LeBron James sank his only 3-pointer of the game with 1 second left in the 4th quarter.
If this were a baseball game, then James hit the walk-off homerun, as the venue now switches to Florida for Game 3 on Sunday.
He are a few key points from tonight:
The Magic have too many weapons (Howard, Turkoglu, Lewis, Pietrus, and Lee), and if they play their game...they can actually win this series.
Hedo Turkoglu has been playing at the point guard position...in Game 1 he had 14 assists, tonight he had 4 assists, with 21 points.
Orlando split the first 2 games in Cleveland, that's all you can ask from a road team.
Cleveland plays extremely well, and they have to learn to finish Orlando out...as tonight's game will show, both teams have to play for the full 48 minutes.
Mo Williams seemed to find his stride, so expect the guard play from the Cavs to get better in Game 3.

Orlando seems to play better from behind so far but I expect their intensity to be greater at home. Cleveland should be up 2-0 and needs to keep playing the brand of ball that gets them those huge leads.
Chris I usually agree with you, but I think Cleveland should be down 0-2...
