I still think Orlando has this.

Contact is contact. This is the whole point of dribbling into the lane, if your defender can't stay in front of you or can't plant both feet then you have to get out of the way or make sure you get all ball.
The three point play is a huge reason why the last few minutes of the game are so exciting. If they didn't get these "free" points with the clock stopped you would not see the same excitement with teams down 4-10pts with only a minute left. The fact that these guys can go into another player, take contact and still have the presence to get the ball up and towards the net is amazing! It would almost be like taking tripping out of hockey.
I think Orlando can win one of the next two just because of the way they have played over the last 5, really this series should be over if it wasn't for a miracle shot by Lebron at the end of game 2. However if LeBron and the Cavs found a way I would not be surprised by it seeing how they have shown to take control of games just failing to hold on to them.
