The Boston Celtics defeated the Orlando Magic, 117 - 87, at Amway Center on Wednesday. While this game was expected to be close, the Celtics took it to the Magic in this lopsided victory. Boston really put their foot down in the second half, outscoring the Magic, 68 - 37, after trailing by one headed into halftime. Shooting was the key difference, with Boston shooting 52 percent and Orlando shooting just 37 percent on their end. The Celtics dominated across the board, as they won the shooting, rebounding, assisting and turnover battles. Boston (13 - 9) had to play this game without Isaiah Thomas, but they did n't miss a beat. Avery Bradley stepped up in his absence, tallying 23 points, four rebounds and three assists. Al Horford scored just 10 points on 3 - of - 9 shooting, but added six rebounds and eight assists, as much of the offense was run through the big man. Jae Crowder recorded a double - double, accumulating 17 points and 10 rebounds. Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart took all the point guard minutes and combined for 29 points, eight rebounds, five assists and three steals in the win. The Celtics next game will be on Friday, when they host the Toronto Raptors. Orlando (10 - 13) has really struggled on offense this season and this 87 - point effort only adds to those deficiencies. Nikola Vucevic did record a double - double off the bench though, totaling 12 points and 10 rebounds on 5 - of - 14 shooting. D.J. Augustin led the team in scoring, dropping 15 points on 4 - of - 7 from the field. The forwards really struggled, as Serge Ibaka and Aaron Gordon combined for just 13 points and 11 rebounds on 5 - of - 19 shooting. Evan Fournier went just 4 - of - 14 from the field, but accrued 14 points, three rebounds and five assists. On deck for the Magic is a road matchup against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.
