After Action Report

The Celtics snuck past the Magic 102-99. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
