After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Magic 137-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
