ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Dwight Howard scored 10 points in overtime
and the Orlando Magic, raining down 3-pointers like a Florida
thunderstorm, withstood 44 points and a last-second shot by LeBron
James for a 116-114 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday
night to take a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
Howard finished with 27 points, 14 rebounds and again made his
free throws - 7 of 9 - for the resilient Magic, who made a team
record 17 3-pointers - 11 after halftime.
Orlando can earn its second trip to the NBA finals with a win in
Game 5 on Thursday night in Cleveland.
Rafer Alston added 26 points for the Magic.
James had 12 rebounds and seven assists, but he had eight
turnovers for the Cavs, whose season of seasons is slipping away.
