After Action Report
The Magic buried the Celtics 119-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

- Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
