With the game tied and only 0.6 seconds left on the clock, Magic coach Stan Van Gundy devised a brilliant play that would leave Lee with an open backdoor ally-op layup.  Unfortunately he missed it by quite a substantial margin and his team would go on to lose in overtime 101-96.  The win now gives Wolverine and his teammates a commanding 2-0 series lead headed to Orlando for the next three games.

Someone may have to call Magneto to stop Kobe Bryant, Gasol and the rest of the Lakers.  Even the Candyman, Lamar Odom, was firing on all cylinders.  I guess Superman (Dwight Howard) is no match for the X-Men.  If he is, he’s running out of time to prove it.
