Lakers @ Magics

Okay sports fans, here is the deal. If you are a Magics fan you may be feeling like I am right now. Ticked off. I mean come on. On Tuesday night we won and that seemed like it wasn't gonna happen. Don't get me wrong the Magics have been playing their butts off, but it seems as if there are only a few players on the team that is actually relevant. The players on the Lakers team all have some purpose and are actually joining forces to win the flipping games. It was two and 1 as of Tuesday and now it's 3-1. Magics whats up with you guys? Where are your heads? It's not in the game right now. Derek Fisher got the Lakers to the final win. Lakers 99 and Magics 91. Fisher forced overtime with a 3-pointer with 4.6 seconds left in regulation and then drilled another one with 31.3 seconds to go in overtime as the Los Angeles Lakers outlasted the Orlando
The Lakers can wrap up their 15th title on Sunday night in Game 5.
Bryant finished with 32 points, eight assists and seven rebounds. Trevor Ariza and Pau Gasol each had 16 for Los Angeles, which came back from a 12-point halftime deficit. Ariza had 13 of the Lakers' 30 points in the third quarter.
The Lakers are 7-0 following a loss in this postseason.
Unless they can force a Game 6, the Magic will remember this as another finals game that got away.
Dwight Howard was magnificent everywhere but at the free-throw line. Orlando's superman of a center had 16 points, 21 rebounds and a finals-record nine blocks. But he made just 6 of 14 foul shots, and it was his two crucial misses with 11.1 seconds to go in regulation that doomed the Magic
