After Action Report
In Boston, the Magic pulled away from the Celtics 107-91. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
