After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics shocked the Magic 127-100. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
