After Action Report
In Boston, the Magic outlasted the Celtics 113-104. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · 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.
