The Celtics are playing in the second of back to back games while the Magic have been off since Friday. With rumors swirling around Dwight Howard, the Magic weren't expected to compete this season but have come out of the blocks surprisingly strong behind some otherworldly play by the aforementioned Howard.
Ray Allen went out with a jammed ankle (whatever that means) in the second quarter of their win over the Wizards and did not return. He limped off the court but after the game he stated that there was no swelling and the x-ray...
