After Action Report

In Orlando, the Magic survived the Celtics 103-98. The breakneck pace played right into Magic's hands. The Magic couldn't shake the cold spell; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
