After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Magic 100-97. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Magic's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
