The Magic shot a final series record 62.5 percent from the field
Panama Star This time it was to help celebrate a Magic victory.
With just 0.2 seconds remaining on the clock a trigger happy Magic employee accidently released a shower of confetti onto the Amway Arena court. Workers tried to sweep up the mess but eventually gave up so Rashard Lewis could step up to the free throw line and ice the 108-104 victory which cut the Lakers series lead to two games to one. The Magic shot a final series record 62.5 percent from the field, surpassing the 1991 Chicago Bulls who shot 61.7 percent. The blistering offensive performance is in sharp contrast to game one where Orlando shot just 23-of-77 percent from the field. A loss in game two as well had some in the Los Angeles media predicting a four-straight series win for the Lakers. "I knew our shooting would come back," Orlando forward Hedo Turkoglu said. "We didn't shoot the ball well in Los Angeles but we have guys who play good at home. "We just had to have confidence in ourselves to make the extra pass and find the open guy and expect him to make it." And they did all night long was they shot a whopping 24-of-32 in the first half.
