After Action Report
In Orlando, the Celtics snuck past the Magic 95-90. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
