After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Magic 123-111. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
