Facing a Bostonteam that was out for revenge after being eliminated by Orlando last spring in the playoffs, the Magic stood toe to toe with the Celtics and won the kind of slugfest that only Stan Van Gundy could love.
“My son is a big Patriots fan,’’ said Bird. “He’s screaming and hollering and all that stuff. I always go with the Colts, but I never want any Bostonteam to lose, so I’m stuck in between.
