Lebron James showed why he was the MVP, too bad the rest of the team didn't show up because the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Orlando Magic 99-89 and they now trail in the series 2-1. Lebron James scored 41 points, 9 assists, 7 boards, 2 steals, and 1 block but once again the rest of the team couldn't get any offensive flow with Mo Williams, Delonte West, and Zydrunas Ilgauskas combining to shoot 13-37 for 36 points. The Orlando Magic got an all round team effort with five players scoring in double figures and their bench out scoring the Cavs bench 20-8. Dwight Howard who is usually bad from the free throw line went 14-19 to give him 24 points to lead the Magic, who have dominated Cleveland as of late beating them six of the last eight times in Orlando. This was a physical game with a flagrant foul, two technical fouls, 58 personal fouls called and 86 free throws attempted and the Cavs Mo Williams had to get four stitches under his left eye by an elbow from Anthony Johnson. The Cavs appear to be in serious trouble now because the Magic have out muscled them and beat them up and it looks like the Cavs can't handle it. The Magic have to win on Tuesday if they really want to take control of this series because if they go back to Cleveland tied at 2 they could be in trouble facing the best home team in the NBA.
MAGIC LEAD SERIES 2-1 OVER THE CAVS
