BOSTON – On Saturday night, the Orlando Magic went toe to toe with the powerful Philadelphia 76ers, matching them blow for blow for 48 minutes before falling in the final seconds in heartbreaking fashion.
Tonight, in Boston against the stacked Celtics, the Magic will get another chance to show if they can keep pace with one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. This time, of course, the Magic hope to finish better and exit the Northeast with a much-needed victory.
Magic coach Steve Clifford knows that his team has its work cut out facing a Boston team that is not only exceptionally talented, but also among the deepest in the NBA.
