The Boston Celtics are waking this morning back at home with a commanding 2-0 lead on the Orlando Magic.
Led by Paul Pierce, who caught fire after a hard intentional foul by Dwight Howard, and his 25pts., 5rbs. & 5assts. the Celts held on for the big win.
Dwight Howard finally played out of his Game 1 funk and poured in 30 pts. and pulled down 8rbs. on the
night. In a game where Howard was full of himself as he played to the camera and the fans all night, even
in critical times of the game, good defense eventually wiped the smug "Ive got this win in my pocket" look
right off his face after the final buzzer. The rest of the Magic lineup just could not throw it in the ocean as
they went 13-42 compared to Howards 9-13 from the field. Questionable coaching decisions in the last 10
seconds really cost the Magic the win.
The Celtics win their 5th straight game and 4th in a row away from the Garden. Paul Pierce stated to the Celtic faithful after the game "Yall are not gonna let us quit! We are coming home to close it out!"
Game 3 is set for Saturday, May 22 in Boston on ESPN.
