After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Magic 97-87. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
