Big Baby Glen Davis nailed a 21-foot jumper as time expired to defeat the Orlando Magic by a score of 95 to 94. With this victory, the Celtics evened the series score at two games apiece.

Paul Pierce found Davis, who swished the buzzer beater over Rashard Lewis and ran to half-court, where he celebrated with his teammates, leaving the fans at Amway Arena stunned.

With 11.3 seconds left, Rashard Lewis sank a pair of free throws to give Orlando a 94-93 lead. However, Davis, who finished the night with 21 points, refused to let Boston stand on the brink of elimination.

Dwight Howard scored 23 for Orlando while Rashard Lewis added 22.

The Celtics built up a nine-point lead when Paul Pierce connected on a three-pointer with five minutes left in the third quarter. Pierce finished the night with 27 points, but was hindered with foul trouble during the rest of the game, allowing Orlando to make the comeback.

Game 5 will be played on Tuesday in Boston, Massachusetts.

Here is the final shot of the game that lifted Boston to the one-point victory:
