[quoteright]"Teams are definitely coming in here thinking they don't want to be the team that we end our losing streak on," McGrady said. "I felt like Boston sensed that at the end and Paul took over. We were right there, but they made the plays."[/quoteright]Great win by the Celtics last night though it was against a team that hasn't won ince opening night. Pierce finally scored thirty and played great in the fourth quarter with 6 of 8 shooting, scoring 15 of his 30 in the 4th, he was unstoppable until the Magic switched to a zone defense with a few minutes left. The Magic went on two runs in the fourth, the first be slowed by Vin Baker(19,7,5) and Mike James, who hit some big FT's. Jiri Welsch made his second start and had a few steals. Great game By EWill who was 9-12 from the foul line. The Celtics are off until Friday when they host the Milwaukee Bucks.

Great topic.. lotsa stuff covered!</div> I get a lot of them from espn.com, but yeah I know my facts. Big game tonight, they need to beat the Bucks. With the Nets winning last night a win is important, if Pierce or Ewill can slow down the red hot Michael Redd the Celtics should be able to pull out a victory
