Game 5 was close in Cleveland until the fourth quarter when Lebron turned it on and won for the Cavaliers, or did he? Looking closely at the game it was a lack of defense by the Magic that may have lead to this loss. Another sign that the Magic are more than Dwight Howard is the play of Rafer Alston. In both losses by the Magic he is a combined 2-17 and for the Magic to win tonight that will have to change. Orlando is 10-1 ATS at home after a loss by 10 points or more and 14-2 against the spread in downtown Orlando after allowing 110 points or more two straight games. I do not foresee the Cavs hitting over 50% over the floor on the road and Alston will help the inside-outside game that can be successful with the Magic. Lastly the Magic will bring their good luck charm to the floor in the form of seven-year-old, Gina Marie Incandela. The Magic are 4-0 in the playoffs when she sings and she will be out there again tonight. A feel good story in the NBA playoffs, maybe it’s something that this sport has been lacking.
