Pierce, Rondo Lead Rally Try

The Celtics almost did it again, and if Ray Allen would have hit one of his patented clutch threes down the stretch, the C's just might be sitting with a 1-0 series lead.

But tonight just wasn't the night. The dramatic comeback was there, but the most important shots weren't, as the Orlando Magic grabbed a big road win to kick off this series, 95-90.

Boston fell behind by 28 points in the third quarter but never quit, clawing themselves back into the game by showing no fear of Dwight Howard and relentlessly driving to the basket.
