Do You Believe in Miracles? Magic Do

Filed under: Celtics, Magic, NBA Playoffs

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Stars Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson played the best, but it was unheralded Matt Barnes who said it best Wednesday night after the Orlando Magic throttled the Boston Celtics again, moving another step closer to making history.



A 3-2 deficit never felt so good.



"We've got our foot on their neck right now,'' Barnes said in a confident Magic locker room. "Now we have to keep it there.''



In a series that has gone from a surprising debacle to a stunning turnaround, the Magic slammed the Celtics, 113-92, Wednesday, a second consecutive victory that now has them believing that miracles can happen.



No NBA team ever has fallen behind 3-0 and rebounded to win a playoff series. And it has been tried 93 times before. Game 6 is in Boston Friday night, but the Magic already are making plans for Game 7 in Orlando.



The team that is down has suddenly become the favorite again.



"The momentum has shifted,'' said forward Rashard Lewis. "We want to make history now. We can win this series. We have the guys who can do it.''
