Orlando Magic stole one game from the Cleveland Cavaliers as the game ended with a 1 point favoring the Magics. They were down with several points for most of the quarters but in the end, they wear big smile on their faces.
This is the first loss for the Cavaliers on the playoffs as they swept the First Round and the Semifinals, 4 to 0, against Detroit Pistons and Atlanta Hawks respectively. They are now 8-1 on the Playoffs.

The Cavaliers led the Eastern conference when they left Detroit Pistons embarrassed in their home. They are also the only team in 2009 Playoffs to have sweep win at 4-0 against Pistons.
Lakers on the other hand sent the Jazz home today for summer vacation when they took the 4-1 lead with 107 to 96. They are waiting for either Houston Rockets or Portland Trailblazers to advance to conference semi-finals.
My favorite NBA team took the 3-1 lead over San Antonio Spurs lat April 25th, but this isn’t a time to celebrate yet. The Mavericks has a bad history in terms of Playoffs game. They haven’t made it to the playoffs since 2006. During that postseason, Mavericks played on the final against Miami Heat. They lead the finals 2-0 but consecutively lost 4 games. During that postseason as well, they had a lot of struggles to advance the playoff against the same team San Antonio Spurs. What makes it even similar situation is that they also took 3-1 lead, and still the SAS was able to tie it up. Mavericks got game 7 via overtime.
