BOSTON--The Orlando Magic dethroned Boston by shooting 13 of 21 three pointers en route to a 101-82 win over the Celtics in game seven of their NBA quarter-final playoff series on Sunday.

Hedo Turkoglu nailed four of the 13 three pointers as the Magic had a 16-4 run in the first quarter then pulled away for good in the fourth.

Turkoglu also had 25 points and 12 assists while Dwight Howard had 12 points and 16 rebounds.

"We got a good victory," Howard said. "It feels good."

The Magic now take their balanced attack to Cleveland where they will face LeBron James' Cavaliers in game one of their best-of-seven, semi-final series on Wednesday.

"It is going to get harder but we believe we can go all the way," Howard said.
