Sixers steal Game 1 from the Magic

Andre Iguodala drained a pullup jumper with 2.2. seconds and Philadepelphia completed a furious 18-point comeback and win Game 1 at Orlando.

Iguodala's 22-foot game-winnger was sweet redemption for the shooting guard, who had missed two free throws with close to a minute left in the game.

Iguodala finished with with a team-high 20 points, eight boards and eight assists, and his winning bucket in the closing seconds overshadowed a spectacular night from Dwight Howard. The Orlando center shot 11-13 from the field and finished with a career playoff-high 31 points and 16 rebounds.

ESPN has a game recap and highlight video of Igudala's last-second dagger, and Monday morning fans were still reacting on Twitter to the playoff upset.
