ORLANDO, FL - MAY 26:  Dwight Howard #12 of the Orlando Magic reacts after dunking against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game Four of the Eastern Conference Finals during the 2009 NBA Playoffs at the Amway Arena on May 26, 2009 in Orlando, Florida.

The Orlando Magic are now the team to beat in the Eastern Conference.

After the Magic won Game Four Tuesday night in Orlando, a lot of people, including me, are thinking the Magic might just win it all.

After the amazing three-pointer from Rashard Lewis at the end of the game, the Magic now look like they are the team to beat.

The defense was great in Game Four—OK maybe no great, but you get my point. Dwight Howard had a great game, and when he needed to step up in overtime to make two three throws, he made them.

Now the series heads back to Cleveland, and while many may think it might be over, it's never over when you are playing against the Cavs.

Mo Williams said the Cavs would win this series, but it just goes to show you that no one can become overconfident in the playoffs, no matter how good the team might be.

The Cavs will now have to step up if they want any chance of bringing a championship back to Cleveland. LeBron will need support from his teammates if they want to pull this miracle out.

Only eight teams have come back from being down 3-1 in a series.

Question is can the Cavs do it?
