James drops Magic

By Staff | Mar 18, 2009

James dropped a long three-pointer with 47.4 seconds left and added two free throws with 8.7 seconds to go as the Cleveland Cavaliers improved to 30-1 at home with a 97-93 win over the Orlando Magic Tuesday night.

With Cleveland trailing 93-92 in a game soaked in playoff intensity, James, wearing green and white Nikes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, pulled up in front of Orlando’s bench and coldly knocked down his three. Magic center Dwight Howard was called for a three-second violation on Orlando’s next trip, giving the ball back to Cleveland.

James was fouled while shooting and made his two free throws as the crowd serenaded him with chants of “MVP.”

Rashard Lewis missed a three-pointer with 2.5 seconds left for the Magic, who came in with the Eastern Conference’s best road record, but couldn’t send the Cavs to their second home loss.

Mo Williams added 21 points for Cleveland, which held the Magic to 18 points in the fourth quarter.
