The
Boston Celtics found themselves trailing by 18 points at the half of
their most recent game against the Orlando Magic in the Eastern
Conference Playoffs. But not to let the Magic claim a 3-1 lead in the
series, the Celtics stayed on the court during halftime as Orlando
headed to the locker room.
As a result, the Celts dominated
halftime, scoring 21 unanswered points and taking a 3 point lead as the
game resumed. The Orlando crowd booed heavily as they scored bucket
after bucket without opposition and watched the Magic lead slip away.
"Well,
I thought about taking them into the locker room and giving them an
inspirational speech to get back into this thing," said head coach Doc
Rivers. "But I said, maybe staying out here will be the best way to do
that instead. Sure enough, it worked and we were able to come from
behind and get a victory because of it."
The Magic said they will focus on their halftime play before the next game in Boston.
"Halftime
has been our worst period for scoring this whole season," said Dwight
Howard. "This still seems like cheating to me, but I guess we should
have stayed out there on the court when we saw them continue playing
even after the buzzer."
Big Baby Davis says he is confident his team can take down any other at the half.
"Look,
do whatever you want in that locker room," he said. "Drink some
Gatorade, say a prayer, get taped up. We'll be out here on the court
dunking on your ass."
