After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Magic 123-117. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
