Celtics-Magic Preview

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) The Philadelphia Flyers cap Celtics forward Rasheed Wallace has been wearing to support his hometown team might not be something Boston fans want to see.

Especially now.

More than a week after the Bruins blew a 3-0 series lead to the Flyers, the Celtics are getting an unwanted trip back to Orlando. They'll try to close out the Magic again Wednesday night or put a city that knows all too well about such comebacks halfway to their latest installment.

``It can be done,'' said Magic guard Jameer Nelson, a St. Joseph's alum who grew up outside Philly.

Only four times in the history of North American major pro sports leagues has a team won a playoff series after losing the first three games. Of course, that might not mean much to Boston fans.

It has happened three times in the NHL - most recently by the Flyers - and once in baseball, when the Boston Red Sox came back to beat the New York Yankees in the 2004 AL championship series.

It's just never been done in the NBA.

``At some point,'' Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said, ``somebody is going to come from 3-0 down and win a series.''

Here's Orlando's chance to take another step toward history.

The Magic have Game 5 and - if necessary - Game 7 on their home floor, meaning if they can shift things back to Boston, a series that was seemingly over would suddenly have new life - and a ton of pressure on the Celtics.

Orlando's overtime win in Game 4 showed the grit of a team that had played all year wanting to redeem its NBA finals loss to the Lakers. The debacle that put them in an 0-3 hole, getting blown out with little resistance, did not.

Howard expects the gritty team to show up on Wednesday, but really it's anybody's guess.

``We didn't win the game just to win a game to say we were in this series,'' Orlando's Dwight Howard said. ``We want to make this a series and win this series. We all have to believe that. I told the guys before the game, 'Put out all disbelief, anxiety and fear. We just got to keep playing.'''

The Celtics, meanwhile, aren't exactly about to implode.

Even with the Magic playing the best they have all series, Boston still had chances to eliminate them. The Celtics never trailed by more than 10 and overcame a night when Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett were far from stellar.

They also had the ball for the final possession of regulation, but Paul Pierce lost his dribble as his teammates crowded him near the top of the key. Time expired amid the scramble for the ball, and then they lost in overtime.

The Bruins? Well, they also lost Game 4 in overtime.

``There's no need to panic,'' Celtics guard Ray Allen said. ``We like the position we're in. It's just always a lesson in humility. As a team, as individuals, you never get too big for the situation. We're in a great position, like I said.

``So we have to take care of the small things, and they'll add up to what we ultimately want.''

The Celtics still have three more chances to win the series and advance to the NBA finals for a shot at their second championship in three years. They've never gone more than five games in a series in which they won the first three.

After swarming the Magic defensively in the first three games, the Celtics finally let them get loose. The Magic shot a series-best 44.6 percent from the field behind Howard's 32 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks.

Nelson hit back-to-back 3-pointers in overtime, and the Magic rode their sharp-shooting to a season-saving victory.

``At the end of the day, even though we struggled offensively to get some momentum going, we still didn't get any defense when we had to,'' Pierce said.

The Magic were able to extend their season even with their biggest acquisition busting.

Vince Carter had only 3 points on 1-for-9 shooting. He struggled so much he was replaced by J.J. Redick with 3:57 remaining in regulation.

Carter returned about 2 minutes later to play alongside Redick, who has been far more effective than Carter in the series. But Carter maintains that he's not giving up on himself.

Or his team.

``Just believe,'' Carter said. ``We feel like we're a championship team, we've built this base from day one and we've played outstanding basketball the second part of the season.

``We've had a lot of success the first two rounds of the playoffs, shoot. Why go lay down now? Fight the fight and see what happens.''

With season on line, Magic knock off Celtics, force Game 6

By Dick Scanlon, for NBA.com
Posted Thursday May 27, 2010 1:27AM

ORLANDO (NBA.com exclusive) -- It was a brutal night for Boston's big guys in the Celtics' 113-92 loss to the Orlando Magic in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals.

Starting center Kendrick Perkins was ejected in the first half, forward Glen Davis suffered a concussion in the second half and Rasheed Wallace fouled out with 4:49 left in the game. Wallace also "tweaked his back," according to Boston coach Doc Rivers.

Jameer Nelson scored a game-high 24 points for the Magic and led their first successful 3-point parade of the series.

Dwight Howard added 21 points, 10 rebounds and another dominating defensive effort that included five blocks.

"At this point we believe we can win the series," Nelson said. "We have to stay humble and keep focused and remember how we won these last two games. I believe they have pressure on them right now, but they have veteran players with Hall of Famers and a great coach."

The Celtics still lead the series, three games to two.

Game 6 will be played Friday night in Boston, where the Magic have won four of their last five, including Monday night's overtime victory.

"We need to win one game, and let's hope it's the next one," Rivers said. "If it takes coming back here, we'll be ready for that, too. But we'd like to do the next one."

If they don't win either game, the Celtics will become the first team in NBA history to lose a playoff series after winning the first three games.

It is questionable whether they will have either Perkins or Davis for Game 6.

Perkins was automatically ejected after getting his second technical foul with 36.1 seconds left in the first half. Perhaps more significantly, it was Perkins' seventh technical of the postseason, which calls for a one-game suspension unless one of the technicals is rescinded by the league.

"I didn't think he deserved either one, but he got them," Rivers said. "I did think once Eddie Rush realized he called [the second technical], he couldn't rescind the tech because he forgot they had given him the other one."

After taking a Howard elbow to the face in the final seconds of the third quarter, Davis fell to the floor and stayed down for a few seconds as the action went to the other end of the court. Then he got up and wobbled to halfcourt before falling into the hands of referee Joey Crawford.

He was taken to the locker room, where Dr. Brian McKeon diagnosed a concussion.

"We're just trying to win," said Howard, who considers Davis a good friend. "Our intention is not to hurt anybody out there, but basketball is a very physical sport."

The Magic turned the ball over the first three times they had it and fell behind 5-0. Vince Carter and Lewis got the Magic going with 3-pointers, setting the stage for Orlando's biggest offensive game of the series by far.

Six different shooters combined to make eight of the Magic's first 12 3-pointers, and they shot 13-for-25 for the game.

"We're attacking more, making them shut down the paint and getting it to our shooters," said Nelson, who made 4-of-5. "We're playing more of our game now."

J.J. Redick's long, moving 3-pointer gave Orlando a 47-35 lead late in the first half.

Paul Pierce hit four straight free throws and a 3-pointer to help the Celtics trim the lead to eight by halftime, and Rajon Rondo's layup made it 57-51 at the outset of the second half.

But the Celtics never got any closer.

With Howard and Nelson on the bench, Rashard Lewis scored the Magic's first seven points of the fourth quarter. Lewis and Redick finished with 14 points each, but Magic coach Stan Van Gundy gave most of the credit to the leadership of Howard and Nelson.

"People talk all the time about leadership and guys talking in the locker room and all that," Van Gundy said. "I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but what leads your teammates is playing that hard and people follow along. That's leadership, and I think both of those guys, as our captains, came with great energy and great, great toughness, and that is he leadership you need.

"It's OK if you want to say something, too, but a lot of people talk. It's about playing that hard and that well."

Wallace led the Celtics with 21 points, including 10 straight before fouling out. Pierce had 16 of his 18 points in the first half.
