After Action Report

In a track meet, the Celtics snuck past the Magic 126-125. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
