The Orlando Magic beat the Boston Celtics 95-91 on Monday night winning game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinal.

At one point in the second half Orlando was up 28 points over the defending champs but Boston rallies to get within four points in the 4th quarter.

“The last 16 minutes was a debacle,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. “We were sort of trying to run out the clock, and you can’t do that in games like this. Especially in the playoffs, teams are going to keep fighting and keep coming back. [But] how about the fact that we were up 28? You play these games to win, and that’s it. We won. Right now, the series is 1-0.”

Boston just can’t match up with Orlando. We expect another win by the Magic when the series continues Wednesday night in Boston.
