Today in Central Florida sports history: Magic play final game in Amway Arena

The Magic fell behind 3-0 during their Eastern Conference finals series with the Boston Celtics. Stealing one game in Boston didn't mean much and everyone expected the season to end with a thud at Amway Arena.

The crowd roared as a barrage of 3-pointers and a game-high 24 points from Jameer Nelson lifted the Magic to a 113-92 Game 5 win over the Celtics on this this date in 2010.

The Magic couldn't keep the run going, ending the season two days later with a 96-84 road loss to the Celtics.

As a result, the an announced crowd of 17,461 on hand May 26, 2010, saw the final game at the aging but iconic Amway Arena.
