NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
You know we have sort of been sidetracked by the Chicago Bulls/ Boston Celtics series that became very interesting once Kevin Garnett was announced out of the playoffs with an injury. Don’t look now, but the pesky Philadelphia 76ers are giving the Orlando Magic all they can handle.
The 76ers made play after play at the end of the 4th quarter to almost pull out game four, in spite of Orlando’s 10 point lead. It all came down to a botched pick play by Orlando on offense and a clutch 3 pointer by a cold Hedo Turkoglu.
Turkoglu nailed a three-pointer over Thaddeus Young with 1.1 seconds left to lift the Orlando Magic to an 84-81 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday, evening their Eastern Conference first-round series at two games apiece.
GAME REPORT: Magic 84, 76ers 81
“The coach had confidence in me,” said Turkoglu, who came in just 7-for-30 from the floor in the series. “He called a play for me and I’m just glad I made it.”
Without an answer to Dwight Howard underneath, the 76ers are probably going to take this series to game 7.
