No. 2 Celtics: 62-20, first in Atlantic Division vs. No. 3 Magic: 59-23, first in Southeast Division
Hungriest player.
Ray Allen has been locked in for most of the postseason, shooting daggers while trying to make up for the lost on-court leadership of the injured Kevin Garnett.
Factoid.
The sharpshooting Magic led all Eastern Conference teams in the first round with a .465 field-goal percentage.
Bottom line.
Magic: The 2s weren’t a big problem, but the 3s were — Orlando must regain confidence behind the arc. The team was seventh in the NBA with a .381 3-point percentage in the regular season, but dipped to .346 in the first round (which would have ranked 28th in the regular season). Celtics: Boston is going to have to use all of its bigs, notably “Big Baby” Glen Davis and Kendrick Perkins, to tug on “Superman” Dwight Howard’s cape.
