NEW YORK — That was some exotic craft LeBron James docked in the slip by remote control from long distance to win Game 2 on Friday night.

Yet if the Cavaliers get bounced by this increasingly confident cluster of unflinching Magic men — one second away from being halfway to paradise/ sweeping the series in the subsequent two games in Orlando — LeBron's 8-meter stiletto will be just an implausible footnote . . . one of the greatest moments manufactured from nothing when he "used to play for the Cavs."

Who's really all that surprised The Chosen One received so much bewildering help from The Frozen One?
