The Orlando Magic have advances to the Eastern Conference finals after knocking off the defending champion Boston Celtics 101-82 in game 7 of the semifinals.

“We believe. We believe we can go all the way,” Orlando’s Dwight Howard said. “It’s going to get harder.”

Hedo Turkoglu led the game in scoring with 25 points while Howard added 12 points of his own, plus he led the game with 16 rebounds and 5 blocks.

“I would like to say we played the game exactly the way we wanted. We actually played it better,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. “When you look at a team that’s 32-0 when leading a series 3-2 and then you win by 19 points, that’s a big win. I can’t say that I’ve ever had one that I’ve ever been happier with.”

As for the defending champions, they just ran out of gas.

“We still felt like this was a team that could have gone to the championship and won it, regardless of the injuries,” Celtics star Paul Pierce said. “It felt like we ran out of gas.”

The Magic will travel to Cleveland on Wednesday to face LeBron James and the Cavaliers.
