After Action Report

The Magic knocked off the Celtics 142-130. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
