ORLANDO, Fla. Cheap New York Rangers Jerseys . -- The Boston Celtics are prepared to go through growing pains this season as they continue learn to adapt to life without franchise stalwarts Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. Coach Brad Stevens is ready for a long process, but will take a few wins like Friday night along the way. Brandon Bass had 16 points, including a pair of free-throws in the closing seconds to help the Boston Celtics fight back from an early hole and hang on for a 91-89 victory over the Orlando Magic. "We talked before about making winning plays in winning time, and we did. That was neat," Stevens said afterward. "Overall, Im very pleased with the result but we still have a lot to work on. Were not that much different than if we wouldnt have won the game." Trailing by three, the Magic had a chance to tie the game in the final minute, but Arron Afflalos jumper came from just a half-step inside the 3-point line. The win is the Celtics second straight and extends their win streak over Orlando to nine games. They will try to make it three straight Saturday at defending champion Miami. Avery Bradley added 14 points and eight rebounds for the Celtics. Boston survived a 36 per cent shooting night from the field and 2-for-14 performance from beyond the arc. It was the fourth straight opponent that the Magic held under 40 per cent. But after taking an early lead they let the Celtics back in the game by committing a season-high 20 turnovers that led to 25 points on the other end. Afflalo led the Magic, who had their three-game win streak ended, with 23 points. Nik Vucevic finished with 14 points and 13 rebounds but was mostly bottled up by Bostons defence. Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said the turnovers also contributed to Vucevics off night. "That didnt help us initiate our offence and then secondly, they did a good job of trying to deny him the basketball," he said. "Youve got to give them credit for their defence." Boston slipped out at a seven-point lead to begin the fourth quarter, but the Magic fought back to tie it at 75. The cushion grew again when Bradley stripped Victor Oladipo at midcourt and sprinted ahead for a dunk and eventual three-point play to put the Celtics back up 81-77 with under 6 minutes to play. Afflalo knocked down a 3-pointer and was fouled by Bradley with 1:38 left. He promptly completed the four-point play to pull the Magic within 86-84. Kelly Olynyk responded with a jumper on Bostons next possession, but after rebounding a Magic miss on the other end, a floater by Jeff Green caromed off the rim and landed out of bounds. The Magic werent done. Afflalo saved a shaky possession with a driving layup and three-point play to cut the Celtics lead back to 88-87 with 26.5 remaining. Boston tried to run down the clock and Bass was eventually fouled and was able to connect on both of free-throws. Following a timeout, Afflalo got loose and banked in a jumper from the wing, but a review confirmed it he was inside the 3-point line. Bradley was fouled and connected on 1 of his 2 attempts. Oladipo then missed a desperation 3-pointer off the backboard at the buzzer. "We stuck together when we were missing shots, a lot of easy shots," Celtics guard Jordan Crawford said. But everybody stuck together as a team." Afflalo said the loss stings because they felt it was a throwback to lessons they thought they learned a year ago. "This team has been through a lot last year in understanding how valuable wins are," he said. "Outside of that opener (10-point loss to Indiana), weve lost two games now that we felt we should have won. So we are learning in a process, but I think we came to play. "I think the focus just needs to be sharper for a team thats trying to be a team that just won three in a row." NOTES: With the college basketball season opening on Friday night, Stevens said that he has stayed in tune with his former Butler team. "Yeah, I pay attention to it," he said. "Youre always invested more in the people you know and the people that youre really tight with and friends with. Ill be interested to see if my family watches our game (Saturday) night or the Butler game."... Magic F Tobias Harris missed his sixth straight game with a sprained left ankle. ...

Edwin Encarnacion carried the torch for two days at Fenway Park this week; Melky Cabrera and Jose Bautista have had their moments; lately Anthony Gose has contributed.England are set for a Sunday showdown with West Indies in the ICC World Twenty20 final. Eoin Morgans men reached the showpiece game with a clincial win over New Zealand on Wednesday, while West Indies sealed their spot a day later with a stunning triumph over hosts India.England ran into a rampant Chris Gayle when the sides met earlier in the tournament, the Jamaicans 47-ball ton condemning them to a six-wicket defeat, so can they gain revenge when it matters most?James Anderson, Kumar Sangakkara, Bob Willis and many more pundits have their say... Alex Hales and Jason Roy celebrate a boundary against New Zealand JAMES ANDERSONI think England have showed more consistency than West Indies throughout the competition and they clicked brilliantly in the semi-final against New Zealand, while West Indies lost to Afghanistan and have been a bit more iffy. West Indies batted very smartly against India but I think England have a great chance.MATT PRIOREngland are flying, have peaked at the right time and are living the dream, quite frankly, so I think they have a very good chance. West Indies have played brilliantly throughout the whole competition and are not a one-man band - they are a team and they work as a team.However, having missed out against India and Afghanistan, Chris Gayle will be very motivated, so that is a big worry - England will also have his big innings against them earlier in the competition in their mind. If you want to win a big event, though, you have to beat the best and I think England are going to win. Bob Willis has urged England to bowl full and straight at Chris Gayle KUMAR SANGAKKARA The troubles West Indies had just before the tournament brought them very close together and they are motivated to win for the Caribbean but also perhaps to show the West Indies cricket board that they know what they are doing and are focussed on winning. Both teams have explosive hitters so the bowling is going to be the issue - whoever bowls the best, executes in the first six overs, controls the middle, and bowls exceptionally at the death will probably win.MARK BUTCHERI think England have won already just by getting to the final, something I dont think many would have put them in before the tournament. West Indies will sky some chances and their running is not as sharp as other teams, so if England can put in the sort of fielding performance they did against New Zealand and cling on to catches like Joe Roots against Sri Lanka they will be well on their way.However, as mmy old captain Adam Hollioake used to say, whoever hits the most sixes wins. Cheap Custom Montreal Canadiens Jerseys. West Indies have hit 32 and England have hit 34 - by far and away the most in the tournament - so there is an even chance. Jos Buttler could be a key man for England in Kolkata BOB WILLISEngland are overjoyed to be in this final and have an even chance of winning it, though there will definitely be some nerves so they will have to show plenty of mettle. They will have to be very careful with the new ball against Chris Gayle and I dont necessarily want to see David Willey trying to swing the ball against him. Those deliveries could end up going in the stands so I would get it up in the blockhole. As for the result? England!MICHAEL ATHERTONWest Indies beat England in Mumbai but they played less-good cricket against Afghanistan in Nagpur, albeit when they were already through, and on a holding pitch they are not quite the same side. England havent yet played on a turning pitch either but deep down they will feel that, in Kolkata, they have a better chance of lifting the trophy against West Indies than if they were playing India.Will England win the World T20?
