2009 NBA Playoffs: Game 6 - Orlando Magic 83 Boston Celtics 75 (Highlights)

Game 6: Orlando Magic 83 Boston Celtics 75

Analysis: The Magic were able to win this game because of their defense and the fact they went to the free throw line 18 more times and were called for 15 less fouls than the Celtics were. Ray Allen also put up another stinker of a game, so that certainly hurt the Celtics offense, which was pretty awful all night long. I still expect the Celtics to win Game 7, but you never know what can happen.

Key Players of The Game

Dwight Howard: Howard had 23 points, 22 rebounds, and 3 blocks, but he still only had 1 point in the 4th Quarter, so it's not like the Magic changed their game plan. The Celtics just did a poor job of staying with Dwight and keeping him off the boards, which led to a lot of easy buckets for Howard.

Rashard Lewis: Lewis had another solid game with 20 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and a block. 8 of his 20 points came in the 4th Quarter.

Ray Allen: Allen has had back-to-back poor games and shot just 2 of 11 in this one for 5 points. Allen and Pierce both have to take more control on offense.
