Magic center Dwight Howard picked up his third foul at the 2:06 mark of the second quarter when he reached in on a Kendrick Perkins jump shot. Howard and Hedo Turkoglu each have three fouls for Orlando who still holds at 42-33 lead.

The Celtics have played much better this quarter as Doc Rivers has gone to his small lineup in various combinations. Ray Allen has also shown signs of life by utilizing his mid-range game. Allen still hasn’t been able to connect from 3-point range, but he has eight points and looks far more aggressive than he has at other points in this series.
