It's December 25,2010 in Amway Center, Orlando,FL. It's the 4th game of the newly-traded players. And it's gonna be against the number one team in the East, Boston Celtics. Celtics had just won a 14 game winning streak until this day when Magic snapped it! Last Thursday, Dec.23, they also snapped the 10 game winning streak of San Antonio Spurs, the number one team in the west. They head Spurs 22 points behind, 123-101. It's kinda scary because they just traded 4 new players from other teams. Gilbert Arenas from Washingotn Wizards. Then, Hedo Turkuoglu, Jason Richardson and Earl Clark from Phoenix Suns. They only had one practice last Wednesday. They lost the 1st 2 games which is understandable because the 4 players just flew from their roadtrip games and barely has clothes to change. Not even a good rest. But then, after they practiced last Wednesday, after a "not-so-bad" loss from Mavericks, Magic came out strong against the Spurs on thursday. Then come saturday, on Christmas Day which is a tradition every year, Magic almost lost it to Celtics until Jameer Nelson made that two 3-point clutches under 3 minutes in the 4th quarter. Then JJ made 2 in 50 seconds left. Then Jameer made 4 free-throws that lead Magic on an 8 point win against Celtics, 86-78. The first 4 minutes of the game, Magic came on fire with 13-0 but Celtics managed to snatched that away and led the scoring from 1st to 3rd quarter. The biggest lead even came to 12 points I think. Start of 4th quarter, Celtics is ahead of 10 points. But Magic fought...and they got it! The much needed win, to boost their shattered confidence for the last 8 lost games they had. But honestly, they didn't play that good tonight. I thought they were terrible. Their shots are failing. They didn't play as good as with Spurs the other night. Dwight only had one field goal and only made 6 baskets and a rubbish technical foul. But what matters most is...they won! That's all that matters for the team. So, ESPN analysts, what's up? Hey Magic Johnson, were you laughing and taunting Magic earlier, right? So what now?
