The series between Orlando Magic and Toronto Raptors flew to Canadian soil for the Calderon achieved their first victory. Now placed 2-1 in favor of Orlando.

Orlando Magic 94 - Toronto Raptors 108

Finally things started to work on the Raptors, although they had to wait to play at the Air Canada Center. And all thanks to the good offices of the foundation of the team, this time it did work as they have to run. If this happens more often, the Raptors could aspire to much more than what they aspire to this season.

TJ Ford left the holder to score 21 points and Calderon came off the bench to plug 18 points and dealt 13 assists. In the words of Chris Bosh, this was the biggest game of the season and have managed to win. Now it only remains to maintain cruising speed and beat them again. If they put aside their feuds and engage in play as the team that used to be in midseason may embarrass the Magic. If not, will leave for home.

In Orlando, Hedo Turkoglu was the most outstanding with 26 points. Dwight Howard scored 19 with 12 rebounds.

Houston Rockets 94 - Utah Jazz 92 (1-2)

Who said the Rockets would be swept away after losing the first two games played in Houston? I do not know, but many think. And the players we read the thought and said that for nothing, that even the war is going to give and give.

In Salt Lake City, Tracy McGrady scored 27 points to lead the Rockets who arrived about the last three seconds of the game with the score 93-92 in the Utah Jazz and possession. Carl Landry (do you know? Little, is a rookie) blocked a shot on Deron Williams and the party settlement. Landry became the hero of the game and left in second place 20 points from Rafer Alston (returning from his injury) 16 with 10 rebounds and Luis Scola.

For Utah Jazz, Deron Williams scored 28 points with 12 assists and Carlos Boozer 15 with 13 rebounds.

Cleveland Cavaliers 72 - Washington Wizards 108 (2-1)

Washington is another team that finally found its lucky and managed to put the tie 2-1. The Cavaliers did not work at all (39.7% shooting from the field, 12.5% from three ...), except that LeBron James scored 22 points and 7 rebounds.

DeShawn Stevenson said before the game that LeBron James was a very overrated player and they were going to find out when the Cavs visit Washington. And he did. He scored 19 points, leading to 4 other players who also scored over 10 points.

Gilbert Arenas came out of the holder but played just 10 minutes, scoring 2 points. Do not play the second part, presumably to reserve ahead of the upcoming matches.

Well, that was it. No team was allowed to lose the third game would have meant the end of the adventure in the playoffs (to see who is the handsome back from 3-0).
