After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Magic 115-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
