:Bang: This is A MUST HAVE GAME!!!:Bang:

In their first Finals appearance, the Magic started out hot as they jumped to a 20-7 lead behind 11 points from Penny Hardaway. The lead was built behind 11 straight Orlando points as Houston missed 6 straight shots at one point. In the 1st quarter, Horace Grant outrebounded the entire Rocket team, 9-8. If not for Hakeem Olajuwon, Houston may have been run out of the building. Olajuwon hit 4 of 7 shots while the rest of the team made only 3 of 15 shots. The lead continued to expand as Nick Anderson scored 13 points in the 2nd quarter. Orlando would lead 57-37 at one point in the 2nd period despite 15 points from Clyde Drexler for the Rockets. Olajuwon picked up his 3rd personal foul in the 2nd quarter, as their cause grew bleaker. Houston came out in 3rd period like gangbusters as Kenny Smith made 5 3-pointers in the period. Houston went on a 19-8 run to tie the game at 69 on a Mario Elie trey. An acrobatic Drexler layup gave the Rockets their 1st lead at 71-69 with 5:28 left in the 3rd. The Magic came back strong in the 4th quarter after Houston went up by 9 as Shaquille O’Neal scored 12 points and pulled down 5 boards in the period. Orlando had numerous chances to clinch the game but couldn’t convert. They missed 6 free throws in the 4th and made only 1 of their final 6 field goals. Nick Anderson was the main culprit as he missed 4 straight free throws in the final 10.5 seconds. Kenny Smith then drained a long 3 to tie the game with 1.6 seconds left. Robert Horry opened the OT with back-to-back 3’s and Houston never trailed again. A Horry steal from O’Neal with Houston leading by 3 with 0:46 left was a key play. Orlando did tie the game on a Dennis Scott 3-pointer with 0:05 left but Houston ran down the clock and Olajuwon tipped in a Drexler miss with 0:00.3 left to give Houston the win. O’Neal did not score in the extra session as Orlando continued to fire away from outside. Horry and Smith combined for 34.
