After Action Report
The Magic rolled past the Celtics 113-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic steamroller is in full effect right now; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
