ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)—Glen Davis had 21 points and hit the game-winning shot from 21 feet out as the Boston Celtics outlasted the Orlando Magic, 95-94 to tie the Eastern Conference semifinal at two games apiece. Davis had seven of the Celtics’ fourth quarter points while Paul Pierce (27 points) and Ray Allen (21 points) each stepped up to help Boston evade a 3-1 deficit. Despite their significant momentum coming into this game and a raucous crowd behind them, the Magic shot a paltry 40 percent from the field and failed to seize complete control of the series. Dwight Howard (23 points, 17 rebounds) and Rashard Lewis (22 points) led the way for Orlando in the loss. Game 5 will take place Tuesday in Boston. In other NBA action Sunday, Houston stormed past the Los Angeles Lakers, 99-87, as that series is also tied 2-2.
