BOSTON (AP) - Dwight Howard and Hedo Turkoglu helped dethrone
the defending champion Boston Celtics on Sunday night and gave
Orlando a chance to bring a crown to the Magic Kingdom.

Howard had 12 points, 16 rebounds and five blocked shots, and
Turkoglu had 25 points with 12 assists in Game 7 on Sunday night,
leading Orlando into the Eastern Conference finals, 101-82.

Orlando trailed for just 36 seconds and built a lead it couldn't
squander to earn the right to play LeBron James and the Cavaliers
for a spot in the NBA finals. Game 1 is Wednesday in Cleveland.
