After Action Report

In Boston, the Magic outlasted the Celtics 94-87. Magic's positional fit overwhelmed the Celtics rotation. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
