Orlando, Fla. ? The defending champions aren’t giving up their crown easily.

Glen Davis made a 21-foot jumper as time expired to help the Boston Celtics hold off a furious rally and defeat the Orlando Magic, 95-94, on Sunday night to even their Eastern Conference semifinal at two games apiece.

Davis took the pass on the wing from Paul Pierce, swished the jumper over a charging Rashard Lewis and ran to half-court. He was mobbed by teammates, leaving the Orlando home crowd silenced.

“I didn’t see his emotions,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. “I was having an emotional highjack at the moment myself.”

Davis’ jumper followed a pair of free throws by Lewis that put the Magic ahead with 11.3 seconds to play. Davis also hit a 15-foot jumper in the final minute and finished with 21 points.
