3 Minutes to Go

At the start of the fourth quarter the Witnesses went to an open set, with four guys on the perimeter and one in the post or all five guys around the three point line. This allowed for Cleveland to get some dribble drive action which opened up not only the lane, but also their outside shooters. However, Cleveland started the quarter cold and an array of unjust offensive foul calls forced Cleveland to go back to their normal offense, which has been stagnet all night. On the other hand, Orlando continued their charge highlighted by rookie Courtney Lee and Rashard Lewis. Cleveland has put LeBron on both Turkoglu and Lewis in the fourth, but both continue to be effective. With 4:20 left, Mo Williams has come to life who has the Cavs last five points. Even with the crowd getting louder as Cleveland gains momentum, the Magic refuse to back down and have kept their composure.

In hopes of LeBron not completely dominating the ball, Cleveland has started to put LeBron under the hoop and is now running him off of screens so he can either attack the hoop and create for others or shoot his improved midrange jumper. Orlando is down three entering the home stretch.
