It's not everyday you see a 27-3 run in the 4th quarter...


With 10:45 remaining in the fourth quarter last night, an Evan Fournier layup gave the Magic an 87-60 lead over the Celtics.  Here's what happened on Orlando's next 18 trips up the floor:

A Kelly Olynyk three made the score 90-87 with 2:33 left in the game.  In a span of 8:12 Boston outscored the Magic 27-3.  Orlando scored just once in 18 possessions, going 1-for-11 from the field and 0-for-4 at the free-throw line with five turnovers.  Unfortunately the Magic called timeout (which amazingly hadn't yet happened during the run), Tobias Harris made a bucket on the next play, and Orlando hung on for a 100-95 win.

And how about this little nugget from Celtics radio play-by-play man Sean Grande:
