SERIES NOTES:

Post-series assessment: Winning Game 7 on the road, the Orlando Magic defeated the Boston Celtics 4-games-3 in MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1080, thereby improving their best-of-7 NBA playoff series record to 6-5 overall and 3-1 in the Quarterfinals. With the series 1080 loss, the Boston Celtics see their best-of-7 NBA playoff series record fall to 56-19 overall and 17-6 in the Quarterfinals. With the series 1080 loss, the Boston Celtics now have a still-stellar 32-1 best-of-7 NBA playoff series record upon having held a 3-games-2 series lead. The win order for the victorious Orlando Magic in series 1080 was WLWLLWW: Series 1080 thus becomes the first NBA Quarterfinals series, the third NBA series (all rounds), and the 12th MLB/NBA/NHL series (all rounds) to follow this relatively uncommon win order to completion. Orlando won at Boston 101-pts-82 in Game 7: This 19-point victory on the road in an NBA Game 7 is the third-largest Game 7 margin of victory ever by a road team, next only to that in series 941 (in which the Indiana Pacers defeated the Celtics in Boston 97-pts-70 in the 2005 Preliminary round) and series 69 (in which the Philadelphia Warriors defeated the Bombers in St. Louis 85-pts-46 in the 1948 Semifinals).
