Around the Internet
- John Hollinger at ESPN.com has a very good analysis of what the Cavs did right in Game 4 and why they do have some reason for optimism even though they are down 3-1. He says pretty much what we've all been saying: the Cavs gave the Magic the shots they wanted them to take and unfortunately (for us) they made them, but that's not likely to happen again. And the Cavs got better help from everyone not named LeBron which is a positive sign for the next game.
