Pat yourself on the back (or your pleasure region of choice) if you took the Magic +9 last night. Despite LeBron’s 49 points, the Cavaliers showed some rust after eight days off, blowing a 16-point lead and falling to the Orlando Magic in Game Uno of the Eastern Conference finals, 107-106. Dwight Howard had 30 points and 12 boards for the Magic, and noted “white” guys Hedo Turkalo (15 points, 14 assists) and Zydrunas Ilgauskas (10 points, 10 rebounds) posted impressive numbers for the Magic and Cavs, respectively. The game was also highlighted by Dwight Howard’s lackluster dismantling of a shot clock (video above) and Mo Williams’ buzzer-beating shot to end the first half (after the jump).

Oh, and if you were holding out hopes of seeing Monday Night Raw in Denver, forget it. The WWE has announced that they’ll be performing in the Staples Center in LA for their upcoming show. There’s promise of a 5-on-5 “Lakers” vs. “Nuggets” matchup, and I can only imagine how that match will turn out…Are the NHL playoffs still going on? Yeah, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Carolina Hurricanes play Game 2 of their conference final tonight. The Penguins lead that series, 1-0.

Oh, and here’s a (yawn) first-half buzzer-beater from the Cavs’ Mo Williams. Play on, player.
