Magic point guard Anthony Johnson, filling in for the suspended Rafer Alston, helped the team thump the Celtics on Friday night in Game 3.

Johnson had 13 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals in 28 minutes, while shooting 5 of 7 from the field.

"Anthony Johnson, I thought, set the tone of the game," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "He's a wily, tough, old veteran and he came to play. He deserved that performance."

Orlando's 117-96 win gives them a 2-1 series lead over Boston. Game 4 will be Sunday at Amway Arena.
