After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Magic 135-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
