After Action Report

In a track meet, the Magic pulled away from the Celtics 119-105. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
