2009 NBA Playoffs: Game 4 - Boston Celtics 95 Orlando Magic 94 (Highlights)

Game 4: Boston Celtics 95 Orlando Magic 94

Analysis: Big Baby! Hitting game winning jump shots and knocking over fat kids! I have to admit at the beginning of the season I thought Big Baby sucked and that the Celtics needed an upgrade for their bench, but damn has he proved me wrong or what? He's been a consistent player on offense and invaluable to the Celtics now that both KG and Leon Powe are out of the playoffs. Let's not forget that Big Baby is a second round draft pick in just his second season. Many second round draft picks don't even make it through one season in the NBA and hardly any of them start and contribute to playoff teams. The Celtics obviously needed this game badly and now they have the momentum and home court advantage on their side. Still you have to feel like this this series is most likely going 7 games.

Key Players of The Game

Glen "Big Baby" Davis: Not only did he hit the game winning shot, but he also scored 21 points and grabbed 6 rebounds....and you know I have to mention him pushing the fat kid again!

Paul Pierce: Paul Pierce had a solid game despite getting into foul trouble and playing just 32 minutes. He still managed to score a team-high 27 points on 9 of 15 shooting and he was able to trust Big Baby enough to dish the ball off to him on the final play.

Rajon Rondo: Rondo is starting to play well again after a couple of off games. Maybe he was tired from chasing Derrick Rose around for 7 games, but he looks like he's back to his usual self. He scored 21 points and pulled down a ridiculous 14 rebounds.

Kendrick Perkins: Perk has been the unsung hero for the Celtics all season long and tonight was no different. He finished with 12 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 blocks.

Dwight Howard: 23 points, 17 rebounds, 3 blocks and still ZERO post moves. The Magic don't even go to him at the end of games.

Rashard Lewis: 22 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and the Magic's go-to-guy at the end of games. Who knew it would be like this? Lewis did everything he could in this one and had Orlando had the last shot they probably would have won the game.
