The Magic brought out their secret weapon for Game 3.
Orlando is 5-0 in the playoffs – 6-0 on the season – when seven-year-old Gina Marie Incandela sings the national anthem, and another one of her stirring renditions echoed around Amway Arena on Tuesday night.
Incandela was diagnosed at an early age with Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified, Autism, or PDD-NOS. Her parents, Michelle and Dwayne, feared their daughter would not be able to speak at one point.
Working with teachers who used music to help her speech, she slowly started humming songs around the house.
She eventually learned the “The Star-Spangled Banner” and sang it with incredible bravado. She has wowed players and fans in Orlando throughout the playoffs.
Tuesday night was her fifth straight appearance before a Magic home playoff game.
Making easy shots and tough ones from everywhere, the Magic won their first game in two visits to the NBA finals as Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis scored 21 points apiece in a 108-104 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 on Tuesday night to pull within 2-1.
Orlando shot a finals record 63 percent — including another finals record 75 percent in the first half — to snap a six-game finals losing streak and avoid falling into an 0-3 hole that no team in postseason history has been able to escape.
Kobe Bryant, seeking a fourth title and his first since 2002, scored 31 points for the Lakers but the superstar had just 10 points in the second half and went only 4 of 15 from the field after the first quarter. He also missed five free throws, points that could have given the Lakers that 3-0 lead.
