Celtics pull away from the Magic for 8th win

January 15, 2021

 

All 12 players that played Friday night scored at least two points, led by Jaylen Brown who had 21 as the Boston Celtics rolled over the Orlando Magic 124-97 at TD Garden in Boston.

Orlando (6-6) had one early lead in the first quarter and never led again, as Boston led by 12 at the half. The Magic did cut a 16 point Celtics lead to six about five minutes into the third quarter, but the hosts would put it away with a 29-6 run to make it 101-72 which was their biggest lead with 10 minutes left to play. Boston (8-3) played for the first time in a week due to the leagues player safety protocol, and played without Jayson Tatum who is positive for the coronavirus. Five other players along with Brown got into double figures that included Semi Ojeleye (18), Jeff Teague (17), Payton Pritchard (16), Marcus Smart (14), and Jevonte Green (10).
