Dwight Howard Wins on Free Throws?

Sunday nights game 3 battle between King James's Cavs and Dwight "Superman" Howard's Magic came down to a battle of 4th quarter free throws between the next generation superstars. And the result was an astounding 3 point victory for Howard?

That's right, with the decision still in doubt Howard steps up to the free throw line and knocks in two clutch free throws. Lebron then follows suit by going one for two leaving game margin at a two possession 4 point game. Then Howard again gets fouled and astoundingly defies the odds and knocks them both down. Lebron then pushes hard to the line, gets the call and fires up two complete blanks.

I am a Lebron fan, and his 41 points kept Cleveland kicking all night. And watching his rise to superstardom with the last second game 2 winner was incredible. But c'mon, if you cant out duel mini shack in a free throw battle for the series lead, you will never be top of the food chain.
