After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Celtics 119-115. Magic torched the Celtics on the offensive end. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
