After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics snuck past the Magic 107-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
