LeBron James Triple-Double 37pts,14reb,12ast vs Magic Gm5 EC FINALS 2009

LeBron James wouldn't let it end.

James, showing off every dimension of his unstoppable game, had 37 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists, and Mo Williams, who boldly predicted the Cavs would come back and win this tight-as-can-be series, added 24 points in a 112-102 victory over the Orlando Magic in Game 5 on Thursday night.

"It was win or go home,'' James said.

Instead, it's back to amped-up Amway Arena for Game 6 on Saturday night.

You expected anything else?

The Magic overcame a 22-point deficit but missed their first opportunity to close out the Cavaliers, who are trying to become just the ninth team since 1947 to rally and win a series after being down 3-1. Orlando will have two more tries to reach the NBA finals for the first time since 1995.

"They deserved to get this one,'' Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said of the Cavs. "As poorly as I thought we played, we still were there with chances to win and didn't get it done. We have to get ready to go on Saturday.''

For Cleveland, a city banking on James to deliver a championship after a 45-year drought, the MVP was again in a league of his own.

"His intensity and his passion are out of this world,'' Cavs guard Daniel Gibson said. "We will follow him. When he gets it going, there is nothing you can do.''

James scored 21 points in the second half - 17 in the fourth quarter - and had a hand in Cleveland's first 29 points in the final 12 minutes. The last player to post at least 37-14-12 in a playoff game was Oscar Robertson in 1963.

I love whenever howard fouls he acts like he didnt do anything. He's usually under the basket with his hands up and moving his feet resulting in a blocking foul. if he doesn't move his feet it's not a foul.

Based on the information we currently have which i mean the 3-2, the Cavs have little chances of reaching the Finals this year. Moreover, it's very difficult to win an off-home game and in that current situation of much more pressure by the players and the crowd too. I think that the key for the Cavs to win game 6 would be trying not to let Lebron James play ''alone'' once more and score 30+ points cause 85% will be a result of a complete loss. Just pass the ball and play good defense.
