At one point on the NBC Sports Boston broadcast of a big Celtics win over the Magic on Sunday, the Magic trimmed the Celtics’ lead and longtime radio announcer Sean Grande — who is filling in for Mike Gorman on the current road trip — asked Brian Scalabrine if fans were getting a little tense.
Scalabrine didn’t think so.
“That’s in the past,” he said.
The Celtics seem to feel the same way. On Sunday, they blew out the Magic 116-83 — stifling the worst team in the Eastern Conference. Even on a slow night for Jayson Tatum (15 points, 6-for-18 shooting) and from the team at-large behind the arc, the Celtics got more than enough from Jaylen Brown (26 points) and Dennis Schröder (22 points) to take care of business.
