Boston one game from advancing with win over Orlando

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

With weary legs struggling for three quarters, the Boston Celtics again showed why experience is so valuable coming back from 14 down in the fourth-quarter against the Orlando Magic to win 92-88. The series heads back to Orlando for Game 6 with Boston holding a 3-2 lead.

The KG-less Celts are doing what the San Antonio Spurs dead-legged veterans couldn't do -- string together back-to-back wins on tired appendages.

Glen "Big Baby" Davis led Boston with 22 points.

What kind of Tweets came from Beantown tonight?

    TehCheapOne Congrads to Boston Celtics for winning the chance to lose to LeBron James in the East Finals.

Orlando, however, must be dejected having blown double-digit leads in the last two games:
