After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Magic 132-128. Celtics' offense had its way with the Magic. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
