Magic Top Celtics 113-92, Extend Series to Six

The Orlando Magic took care of business for the second consecutive game winning 113-92. The victory extends the Eastern Conference Finals to a game-six this Friday in Boston. The Celtics will try and close out a series they led three games to nothing heading into game-four.


The past two contests the Magic have received great production from Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson, and J.J. Redick. Rashard Lewis is beginning to look more comfortable after suffering through a viral infection earlier in the series.

Only four teams of the top professional sports leagues (NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB) have ever battled back from a 3-0 series deficit. Boston fans should be worried because they recently saw the Bruins lose grip of a 3-0 series lead to the Philadelphia Flyers in the NHL Eastern Conference Finals.

The city of Boston was also on the winning side of being down three games to none. The Red Sox came back to beat the New York Yankees in the 2004 AL championship series.


To add insult to injury Glen Davis suffered a concussion after being struck indecently by a Dwight Howard elbow early in the third quarter. Just before Davis was injured, Celtic starting center Kendrick Perkins was given two technical fouls that were both questionable. If the technical fouls are not overturned by the league, Perkins will have to sit out game-six.

The momentum has moved in favor of the Orlando Magic. Be sure to tune this Friday, May 28, 2010 at 8:30 P.M. to catch more of this great playoff action.
