Cavs Close to Elimination
In game two of the NBA Eastern Conference finals LeBron James pulled off the miracle buzzer beater to snatch a win for his team. The following game in Orlando saw the Magic take a 2-1 lead in the series after a 99-89 victory. Game four in the series took place on Tuesday night, once again in Orlando.
Just like in game two LeBron James had the final shot to win the game, however this time he could not pull it off. The shot came up short as time expired in the first period of overtime, the result was a 116-114 win for the Magic.
James had seen his team level scores at the end of regulation time as he knocked in two free throws to level the scores. Dwight Howard lifted in the OT as he scored 10 of the 16 points scored by the Magic in the period. For the Cavs 44 points from James was not enough to get the win.
The Cavs now have it all ahead of them as they fight to overcome a 1-3 deficit. It will be a huge upset for the Cavs if they fail to make the NBA final as they dominated the competition on the way to a 66-16 regular season record.
In game four the Magic ran hot from the three-point line shooting 17-38 compared with the Cavs shooting 6-22.
Do you think the Cavaliers can come back from being 3-1 down? History is against them as teams with a 3-1 lead are 182-8 in series dating all the way back to 1947.
