After Action Report
The Magic outlasted the Celtics 101-92. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Magic's outside barrage was a constant threat; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
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.
