ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - LeBron James had no shot.
Dwight Howard scored 24 points - 14 on free throws - and Rafer
Alston added 18 as the Orlando Magic, sick of seeing replays of
James' dramatic Game 2 buzzer-beater, downed the Cleveland
Cavaliers 99-89 on Sunday night to take a 2-1 lead in an Eastern
Conference finals getting nastier by the minute.
James scored 41 on just 11-of-26 shooting and missed five free
throws in the fourth quarter. But once again, Cleveland's superstar
didn't get enough help from his teammates. Mo Williams, who needed
four stitches to close two gashes around his left eye after being
elbowed in the first half, Delonte West and Zydrunas Ilgauskas shot
a combined 13-of-37
Game 4 is Tuesday night.
