King James Reigns!!






King James reigns!!

LeBron James made a 25-foot prayer-of-a-shot in the last second of the 2009 NBA Eastern Conference Finals for a 96-95 win to tie the series at 1-1 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic at Quicken Loans Arena.

LeBron scored a game high 35 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists to cap his astounding performance in the end game. He made the play after Magic's Hedo Turkoglu converted a two point jumper in the last 13.5 seconds of the game to give Orlando a two point lead with a second remaining in the game. The Cavaliers sued for a timeout and designed a play for James to pop out over the top of the key for the twinner with Mo Williams issuing the pass from the sidelines.



LeBron made the play after committing a traveling turnover with 30 seconds left in the game and the score tied at 93-all. Orlando called a timeout and was able to designed a play for Turkoglu.

Magic's Courtney Lee made a 10-foot running jumper in the last 5:26 to seized their first lead of the game at 86-84 after trailing the game as much as 16 points. Heads-up plays by Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis, Michel Pietrus, Turkoglu, and Lee cut down the lead of Cleveland after halftime.

Lewis had 23 points for the Magic. Howard chipped in 10 points and a game high 18 rebounds in a losing effort.

Williams contributed 19 points for the Cavs, while the duo of Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Anderson Varejao scored with 12 points apiece and alternately defended Howard in the paint.

Game 3 will be played in Amway Arena, Orlando Florida.

LeBron James was oozing with lots of confidence and poise in making the last second shot. Another highlight reel for the King..
