After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Magic 123-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
