Orlando Magic bench incapable of bailing out starters
The Orlando Magic once again found itself outmatched, but this time it was the Boston Celtics bench mob that obliterated Orlando’s chances at victory.
62-35.
That was the margin of bench scoring in the Orlando Magic’s 113-94 loss to the Boston Celtics on Friday night at TD Garden. Boston did enough damage with its first unit, but when its reserves too the court, the good times kept on rolling — for Boston, that is.
The Magic kept pace with the Celtics for the first half. Orlando still trailed 58-50 at the halfway point, but the game was very much in reach. That was the case even with Orlando having shot just 43 percent and having turned it over nine times.
