The Cleveland Cavaliers were one second away from losing the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals. Trailing the Orlando Magic 95-93 with 1.0 remaining, LeBron James added to his legend by hitting a buzzer beating three-pointer to give the Cavs a 96-95 victory.
Here is the LeBron James video of the game winner:
LeBron James finished the game with 35 points, five assists and four rebounds. He hit 12-of-23 shots from the field, 10-of-12 free throws and 1-of-3 three-pointers — as you can see above in the LeBron video. Helping out LeBron were Mo Williams (19 points, five rebounds and five assists) and Zydrunas Ilgauskas (12 points and 15 rebounds).
The almost hero for the Magic was Hedo Turkoglu. He hit a big three-pointer to tie the game late and then a runner with one second remaining to give Orlando a two-point lead. He ended the contest with 21 points and four assists. Rashard Lewis led the way for Orlando with 23 points and five rebounds, while Dwight Howard had 10 points, 18 rebounds, four assists and two blocks.
With the series now tied 1-1, Game 3 will take place in Orlando on Sunday at 8:30 PM EST. Expect another close game and perhaps another fantastic finish. Another LeBron James game winner in Game 3?
Don’t bet against it.
