The Celtics fended off the Magic 83-76. Celtics torched the Magic on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it

- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
