Yeah the Celtics were able to do what they really needed to if they had any chance of winning. That is take one of the first two games on the road. Now the Celtics have the home court advantage and can win it in 5 (very excited because this guy’s got tickets!). What I thought what they did the best is move the basketball. I think there was more than a few times when the basketball did not even touch the floor. What that means is that the players heads are up and are looking for the open man all the time.
When you can do that it makes it so hard to defend. You can rotate people over as much as you want but you can pass the ball faster than they can run. All you need is one second for the man to get open and release the ball. The Celtics did that very well tonight and should continue using the entire squad if they want to come away victorious after 5 games.
Ray Allen put on an absolute clinic 9 three’s and here’s how he does it. Poetry in motion:
The Orlando Magic got off to a fast start, leading by 14 and did not let the Celtics back into the game. The Magic hit 13 of 25 3 pointers which was something they had not been doing in the first 3 games of the series.
The Orlando Magic took a page out of the Boston Celtics book as they started off hot. The Magic led until midway into the 3rd quarter and manage to keep it close as the game would go into overtime. In overtime it was all Jameer Nelson and Dwight Howard and the Magic found a way to stay alive for another day.
