Celtics fall to Magic 96-113, risk In-Season Tournament elimination

The Boston Celtics were outscored by 25 in the second half en route to their largest loss of the season, a 113-96 defeat at the hands of the Orlando Magic. The win is Orlando’s sixth in a row and marks Boston’s second loss in three games; it also means Orlando is positioned to win East Group C and advance to the knockout round of the In-Season Tournament.

The Magic were led by Moe Wagner, who scored a game-high 27 points on 9-13 shooting. Paolo Banchero scored 23 (10-16 FG), Franz Wagner finished with 19 points (9-18 FG), and Cole Anthony finished with 16 points.
