1. Too many times this season the Boston Celtics have played an overmatched or undermanned opponent and played down to their competition and squeaked out a win or straight up lost. This time Boston got both an overmatched and undermanned Orlando Magic team and handled their business from the jump.
The Celtics led wire-to-wire in a 36-point victory. In basically every category, Boston dominated. They turned Orlando over early to race out to a big lead. The Magic made a run in the second, but the starters came back in and got things under control by halftime.
