After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Magic 106-103. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
