After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics buried the Magic 104-82. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
