The Celtics’ bench unit put together its best performance of the season on Sunday as they claimed a split in their two-game series against the Magic with a 111-107 win.

Here are the takeaways.

Luka Garza had a great bounce-back.

After a game in which the Celtics’ back-up bigs were one of the primary reasons they lost, Luka Garza was one of the biggest reasons the Celtics won on Sunday.
