In the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers have leveled the score in their Eastern Conference finals series after beating the Orlando Magic in a dramatic home match.

Again, it was just one point that separated the team, with the Cavs winning 96-95.

The home side started strong, taking a commanding lead in the first quarter 30-16, thanks to a great performance from their leader LeBron James.

But just as in the first game, which Orlando won 107-106, Dwight 'Superman' Howard and Co. fought back and eventually went in front with just 1 second left to play.

The Cavs needed a miracle to save the game and they got it in the person of LeBron James.

King James delivered a stunning three and gave his team the much desired win, leveling the series at 1-1.

The forward, who got 35 points, called his final second shot the most important in his career.

The next encounter between Cleveland and Orlando is scheduled on May 25.

The score in the Western Conference finals, in which the L.A. Lakers play the Denver Nuggets is also 1-1.
