The Lakers had the same problem with finishing games for the past couple of years. They blew a 24-point lead against Boston in Game 4 of the 2008 Finals, and they lost to Memphis(!) in 2007. It's tremendously disappointing that the Magic couldn't finish games against the Lakers this year, but they know they need to finish games and if their smart they'll make learning how to play the full 48 minutes a goal for next year. (They're already making extensive upgrades talentwise.)

Naturally I wanted L.A. to win but I wish Orlando would've at least lost with a strong will and passion for the desire to win. It was quite sad to see their faces at the beginning of the 4th quarter, they looked like someone just stole their favorite candy bar. And this is why they could never win a championship game, it requires determination until the end, even if you are about to lose the biggest game of your life.
