As
LeBron James pulled up for the final shot, Orlando’s crowd gasped, Magic coach Stan Van Gundy gulped and time stood still.
Spinning through the air, James’ 3-pointer looked good.
Not this time, MVP. This was a Magic night.
Dwight Howard scored 10 points in overtime and Orlando, raining down 3-pointers like a Florida thunderstorm, withstood 44 points and the last-second fling by James for a 116-114 victory over the
Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night to take a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
The resilient Magic, who have overcome injuries, double-digit deficits and a spat between their star and coach, are one win from their first trip to the NBA finals since 1995.
The Magic, who won a Game 7 in Boston in the last round, can close out the Cavaliers in Cleveland on Thursday night.

Coach Van Gundy said 3.2 seconds with the ball in LeBron James hands is like 2 minutes.
I dont know about anyone else but these games are killing me. Each one is a hard fought battle that comes down to the final seconds. One more and the Magic go on take it all.
