The Boston Celtics passed their first test of the preseason with a 107-106 victory over the Charlotte Hornets this past Sunday. Tonight, the Orlando Magic represent the second tune-up game for Brad Stevens and Co. Here are three takeaways ahead of tonight’s exhibition down in the sunshine state…

The preseason opener saw inspired play from up and down the roster, but as has been a common theme (and a common worry) this offseason, the center position is a weak area.
