Celtics' second unit steps up and offers a crucial lesson in win vs. Magic

The Boston Celtics capped their two-game mini-series vs. the Orlando Magic with a 111-107 win at the Kia Center. It was the definition of a team victory.

Several members of the second unit had their best game of the season. For some, it was one of, if not the best, of their careers. Boston's bench outscored Orlando's 50-18.

Jaylen Brown had a team-high 27 points, including a clutch three from 31 feet. On the heels of a jumper by Paolo Banchero, that response gave the visitors a five-point edge with 1:35 left.

Derrick White is still searching for his shot -- don't lose sight of his all-around impact -- but he also buried a crunch-time triple.
