Eddie House scored 31 points for the best playoff performance of his career Wednesday, carrying Boston to a 112-94 decision over Orlando. The defending champion Celtics evened the Eastern Conference semifinal series at 1-1 after falling behind by as many as 28 points in the opening game. Ray Allen added 22 points for Boston and Rajon Rondo had his third triple-double of the playoffs with 15 points, 11 rebounds and 18 assists. Allen and Rondo, however, combined to make only 14-of-34 shots Wednesday after going 4-for-24 in the first game. Boston's Paul Pierce was in foul trouble most of the night and wound up with only three points. House made up for Pierce's problems by hitting 11-of-14 from the field for his playoff high.
