GAME RECAP

One step. One step back was all it took for the game to go to OT. When Steve Nash made a clutch shot everyone in Orlando believed that the game was going to OT. But as it turned out, Nash had just barely stepped on the line. The referee was right beside him, and he noticed it. Only 2 points for the shot and the Bucks get another chance back in Orlando. They force Game 6 and this will severely cut in Magic's confidence. But they still are going to be at home and that means something in the NBA. But what the coaching staff is terrified about is the lack of versatility on the Magic roster. If Dwight isn't performing, the Magic become the Kings or even worse. No offense on him, he tried really, really hard tonight. He could eke out only 6 points and no rejections/steals. The team has their work cut out for the home game, and it will be an excellent game to watch.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

No player of the game this time. It was a team effort for the Magic, and, without a leader in scoring the Magic couldn't win. Had Steve Nash pulled the game-tying basket by not stepping on the line, he would have been the star, hands down. But he didn't, and Orlando have to come back home for Game 6.
