"The guy who teammates laud for his guts and gumption has a soft spot for a treat he held up in the din of the lockeroom.

"That's a Philly TastyKake," said Orlando Magic point guard Jameer Nelson, a Philly guy. "Nothing better."

Ah, his just dessert.

Nelson had led Orlando to a season-saving overtime victory against the Boston Celtics on Monday night at TD Garden.

At 5 feet 10, he sometimes was all that stood between the Magic and an embarrassing four-game sweep. He finished with 23 points and added nine assists, scoring six of Orlando's 10 points in OT.

But it was his clutch, back-to-back 3-pointers in the extra period that helped the Magic trim the Celtics' deficit to 3-1, setting up tonight's Game 5 at Amway Arena.

"He's got a lot of guts," coach Stan Van Gundy said.

Nelson was almost too aggressive at times, committing six of the Magic's 19 turnovers (for 12 Boston points).

Playing another elimination game again, they have little margin for error against the Celtics' defense. The Magic have 68 turnovers in the four games, with Nelson averaging 4.0 and Dwight Howard 3.8 per game."
