After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Magic 106-101. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
