Celtics Magic Recap

The Celtics fall to the Magic 123-110 in a game that saw all the major flaws on full display.

The first quarter saw a typical poor defensive quarter, allowing 38 points off the back of 7 three-pointers. Orlando got out in transition frequently, and the Celtics could not stop it, allowing 8 of the Magic's 11 fast-break points in the first quarter.

Offensively, it was the usual story. Jaylen Brown and Payton Pritchard did much of the scoring, while the rest of the team looked to find their footing. A majority of the shots taken were jump shots, with just 4 of the 24 attempted shots coming inside the restricted area.
