As the fourth quarter began, the referees' whistles became noticeably more frequent.
Su Xi watched, shaking his head. 'They're paving the way for James.'
Whenever James drove into the paint, he was guaranteed to get a call.
The Magic's rhythm was completely thrown off.
However, the Cavaliers weren't shooting well either. Under the high-intensity pressure, James's muscles were burning, and his shot was ice-cold.
The game trudged forward, a grueling affair.
With just 45 seconds left, the Cavaliers had finally managed to retake the lead.
At this point, Dwight Howard had fouled out of the game. With both Howard and Hill out, the Magic put a lineup on the floor consisting of Nelson, Durin, Hardaway, Turkoglu, and Millsap.
Su Xi, sitting in front of his TV, had only one word for it: "Ugly!"
Home-court advantage with the refs was normal, but for the whistles to be blown like this just to hand the game to James was pathetic.
