Magic in the air as Orlando eye rally

THE Orlando Magic will look to continue their fightback against the LA Lakers as they bid to level the NBA Finals series 2-2 tonight (live on Setanta Ireland, Setanta Sports 2).

Orlando must fight formidable odds since only three teams have recovered from a 0-2 deficit to win the best-of-seven finals. They stormed back into contention by knocking off the Lakers 108-104 on Tuesday at the Amway Arena, Orlando, trimming their best-of-seven deficit to 2-1.

Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis each scored 21 points to lead the Magic, who set a record in the championship round by connecting on nearly 63% of their shots.
