Boston win Game 5 to go up 3-2

It was one of the best comeback in the series.At one point Boston trailed 14 points at the end of the third quarter and the only person who was scoring was veteran Paul Pierce who finished with 19 points.

With 5 minutes to go Orlando were still up 11 points.But all of a sudden the tide started changing and Boston made an 11-2 run.Ray Allen who had a cold night made a 3 pointer with less than 2 minutes left to give the Boston Celtics the lead.Orlando could not Capitalize on 3 open 3 point shots.They tried to foul Boston players to stop the clock,but Paul pierce,Eddie House and Big baby Glen davis sunk all the free throws to give Boston a 92-88 win.

Now Celtics lead the series 3-2 heading back to orlando for Game 6 on Thursday night.Its a do or die game for Magic since if they lose,they are knocked out of the series.

Meanwhile,several Orlando Magic fans have been crying foul after the game 4 loss in Orlando.Some bloggers insist that the NBA corporate would want a Boston/Caveliers Eastern Conference final.Game 5 also had its share of conterversial calls.One being what looked an airball shot by Rondo which was ruled to have hit the rim giving Celtics possesion at the closing seconds of the game.Another call is the ball tussle with Big baby glen davis with Rashard Lewis.The Magic team wanted it to be called a jump ball,but instead it ended up being a foul for Davis who sunk the two winning free throws.

Game 6 is on Thursday night 8 pm at the Amway arena in Orlando,Florida.

Orlando fans never cease to amaze me with their excuses.They lost fair and square.Maybe if they did not squander soo many Chances they would have won.

If Boston win the series they are gonna be blown out by the Cavs.

Lets just wait and see,just because the Cavs blew out the Celtics does not mean they can do it again.Boston is a fighting team.and that's why they are champions.

I just hope Ray allen wakes up from the slumber.A 40 point game from him would be nice.Especially in Orlando

Really Orlando has no excuse whatsoever...and it seems Shaq was o the money about the Coach...how do you not go to you best player during a field goal drought? They deserve to lose.

the question is,who is their best scoring player now thst nelson is out?Dwight does not score alot,and Rashard lewis seems to be off on his three point attempts.
