Paul Pierce fouls Orlando's Rashard Lewis in the first half tonight.

It's official: The Celtics will not go 82-0. Boston rallied from a big second-half deficit to briefly take the lead, and they had a chance to tie or go ahead at the buzzer, but Paul Pierce's 3-pointer missed. The Orlando Magic, who at 9-2 have the second best record in the Eastern Conference, came away with the hard-fought 104-102 home victory to snap Boston's eight-game, season-opening win streak. Dwight Howard led the Magic with 24 points; Pierce led the Celtics with 28.

The Celtics' next game is Wednesday night at home against the Golden State Warriors. Click here to see tonight's box score from projo Stats.
