After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics squeaked past the Magic 109-106. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
