"After Rajon Rondo stole the headlines as the Celtics stormed out to a 3-0 Eastern Conference finals lead, counterpart Jameer Nelson stole the show in Game 4. The All-Star point guard had 23 points and nine assists to lead the Magic to a 96-92 win Monday night that sent the series back to Orlando for Game 5 tonight.

"I thought he dominated the game, this entire game," coach Doc Rivers said after the loss. "I thought he went wherever he wanted to on the floor and I thought he made big plays for them."

The key to getting Nelson going was a staggered high pick-and-roll that included a pick by Rashard Lewis and was followed closely by a second screen from Dwight Howard.

Rivers insisted the Magic have run the play throughout the series, but they certainly hadn't run it as frequently or as effectively as they did in Game 4. Rondo was typically a step behind Nelson after he ran off the Lewis pick and then fell further behind the play after colliding with the brick wall that is Howard.

The difference for the Magic is that Nelson made Rondo and the Celtics pay. Rather than coming off the picks tentatively and allowing Rondo to catch up, Nelson attacked."
