The Boston Celtics tightened their grip on the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday with a commanding 94-71 win over the Orlando Magic.

The Celtics lead the best-of-seven series 3-0 and could wrap up a trip to the NBA finals as soon as Monday.

Boston's veteran lineup put up another balanced effort, with six players reaching double figures. Forward Glen Davis top-scored with 17 points off the bench as the Celtics ran up a sixth consecutive playoff win.

The Celtics' trademark smothering defense kept Orlando from developing a shooting rhythm, the Magic had a series-low 37 percent field goal percentage.
