After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics outlasted the Magic 116-97. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
