Here are the highlights from last nights game that Chris already touched on. This series should already be over. If it wasn't for a LeBron last second desperation 3, the Magic would have swept the "best team in the NBA" and be waiting in the Finals.
Some quick numbers from the game, most of which are pretty similar...
Field Goals made - Clev 39, Orlando 40
Rebounds - Clev 40, Orlando 38
Assists - Clev 17, Orlando 21
Turnovers - Clev 14, Orlando 15
Fast break points - Clev 22, Orlando 11
Cleveland shot 27% (6-22) from 3 point land. Terrible. Orlando shot 45% (17-38)
3 point shooting has been the difference in this series. For some reason Cleveland cannot guard the perimeter against Orlando. They're making Rashard Lewis and Turkoglu looks like 1st Team All-NBAers.
Yeah, this series reminds me of Detroit's 5 game sweep over the Lakers in 04'.
