After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Magic 105-91. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
