Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic Analysis
The Boston Celtics lost Jayson Tatum to the game and fell to the Toronto Raptors, 106-104 on Sunday. Jaylen Brown scored 27 points, Grant Williams scored 25 and Jayson Tatum had 25 as Boston extended their winning streak to nine. Boston’s injuries got worse without Tatum when guard Marcus Smart injured his right ankle in halftime and had to be taken to the locker room. He didn’t return and will not be playing in the game against Orlando. After Brown’s collision with his left knee during the first quarter, Center Robert Williams was able to stay in the game. Williams was out of the game for the second quarter due to hyperextension of his knee. Malcolm Brogdon scored 23 and Payton Pritchard 12 points in the fourth quarter. Since their Jan. 3 loss to Oklahoma City, the Celtics have not lost since then.
After trailing by double figures in the first quarter, Orlando lost 138-118 against the Washington Wizards. The Magic couldn’t contain Rui Hachimura inside, setting a new career record with 30 points. Markelle Fultz was the Magic’s leader with 23 points, while Franz Wagner had 20. Paolo Banchero, a rookie, finished with 15. In the second game of a back to back, Orlando fell to 1-8. On Friday night, the Magic won 123-110 over New Orleans. They have been playing better lately, but still have a poor 17-29 record. Their only chance of making the playoffs would be to get a play-in spot. These growing pains are normal for a team that is one of the youngest in the NBA.
