After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Magic 129-106. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
