BOSTON – One title has never been enough. Not for the Boston Celtics.
The league's most-decorated franchise avoided the biggest playoff collapse in NBA history and earned a chance to hang an unprecedented 18th championship banner from the rafters, beating Orlando 96-84 on Friday night to eliminate the Magic in six games and advance to the NBA finals.
It's an opportunity for a second title in three years for the new "Big Three" of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett who won it all in 2008 but failed to repeat last year when the Magic eliminated them in the second round.
