That potential game winner however was halted when LeBron was fouled with 0.5 seconds remaining in regulation in which he hit two crucial free throws with barely no time left and sent the game to extra play.

Exploit Howard vs Big Z Matchup more: Big Z can’t, let me repeat CANNOT guard Dwight Howard. With that said, the Magic MUST go to that matchup more as the series heads [...]
