AT It didn’t look good for a minute (check out this “ripple effect” post for more on that), but the Cavs walked away with a big win in the end due to King James. Now, they will just have to do a better job of keeping leads, contesting three-point shots — especially from Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis — and, most importantly, of keeping LeBron fresh for late in the fourth quarter.

Dwight Howard lead his team to victory over the Celtics and to the Eastern Conference Finals. Howard and the Magic will travel to Cleveland Wednesday to start Game 1 of the series. Here is what “Superman” had to say after tonights big win.
