After Action Report
The Magic held off the Celtics 105-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
