The Celtics came out strong, outscoring the Magic 30-19 in the first quarter They continued to pull away for most of the night, as this one was never really in doubt.
Plenty of “Beat L.A.” Chants last night…I’m certainly hoping the Lakers advance , although I’d like to see that series go seven. As far as the NBA goes, there’s no better show than Boston vs Los Angeles for all the marbles. David Stern and the NBA brass can taste it now…
