Howard Lead Magic past Cavaliers in Game 3

Orlando Magic took a 2-1 lead after defeating Cleveland Cavaliers 99-89 in Game 3 clash on Sunday in the Eastern Conference finals series. Orlando's Dwight Howard had 24 points and nine rebounds. "Our goal is to win a championship and I can't allow anything to stop me mentally from achieving our goal," said Dwight Howard.


It was a pretty physical game from beginning to end. There were 86 free throws, 58 personal fouls, two technicals, and a flagrant. The NBA officials must spent half the time stepping between players on both sides since tempers flared inside the overheated Amway Arena.

The teams will play Game 4 on Tuesday in Orlando, where the Cavaliers have lost six of their last seven games.
