92 Celtics, 88 Magic

Well, the Celtics tried their hardest to blow this one, but the Magic just didn't have enough to put them over the top. Early in this game the Celtics were drumming them, building up leads of 15 and 20, but let it all go in the 4th. They took the entire 4th off and the Magic went on quiet a run.

The star of the game has to go to Rasheed Wallace (sorry Ray)He played fantastic defense on Dwight (13 points) and did a great job of antagonizing him. He made all of his fouls count and already started picking on him. If he keeps poking Dwight eventually Dwight will make a mistake and get thrown out of the game.

Another good thing is that Jameer Nelson (20 points) had a better game than Rondo (8 points) we all know this will get under Rondo's skin and make him play a lot better on tuesday. Paul Pierce (22 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists) and Ray Allen (25 points, 7 rebounds) were the offensive stars.

I expect this series to be extremely physical and chippy.
