This was another easily winnable game by the Magic who were up by 7 at one point, but LeBron James willed his way, and his teammates actually did something. LeBron finished with a triple double with 37 points, 12 assists and 14 rebounds. But it was his role players that really made this game difficult for Orlando as Mo Williams, Boobie Gibson, Delonte West, and Big Z all had double figures in points.
The Magic overcame a 22-point deficit but missed their first opportunity to close out the Cavaliers, who are trying to become just the ninth team since 1947 to rally and win a series after being down 3-1. But the Magic now have 2 more games to close out the Cavs, with the next being at home.
James scored 21 points in the second half -- 17 in the fourth quarter -- and had a hand in Cleveland's first 29 points in the final 12 minutes. The last player to post at least 37-14-12 in a playoff game was Oscar Robertson in 1963.
But on another note I hate the way the refs have been really shitty this series and not letting the players and getting technical and flagrant happy.
