After letting the Bulls take control in the 4th quarter and steal the win on Thursday, the Celtics responded in their Saturday night rematch. They led by just 7 heading in to the 3rd quarter, but thanks to a huge game by Jayson Tatum, Boston was able to seize a game high 29-point lead in the 4th, and ended up winning the game by 25. Tonight, they face a scrappy Orlando team.

The Magic will be very short handed. Their two best players, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, are both sidelined with torn obliques. Orlando also just lost one of their feistiest players, someone who was in the running for Sixth Man of the Year, and a former Celtic, Moritz Wagner, to a torn ACL.
