After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Magic 111-106. Celtics torched the Magic on the offensive end. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it

- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
