NBA: Impage for Boston! Celtics around Dennis Schröder celebrate important victory against weak Magic

The Boston Celtics around Dennis Schröder have celebrated after the crashing defeat against Chicago Bulls two days ago an important victory against weak Orlando Magic. The last strong Franz Wagner remained pale.

Orlando Magic (2-7) - Boston Celtics (3-5) 79:92 (Boxscore)

The rookie, on which after his 28-point explosion all the eyes were directed at the end at 9 points (4/10 from the field and 1/7 of Downtown) and never really found in his rhythm. Even otherwise no Magic player to his litter, Cole Anthony and Wendell Carter Jr. were with 13 points each of their team s most successful passers. Moe Wagner met a threesome (1/4 FG) for 3 points in nine minutes.

At the Celtics, Jaylen Brown was the best man of the evening, the Swingman sanked strong 10 of his 17 throws for 28 points. Dennis Schröder, on the other hand, had again struggled with his throw and hit only Magere 4/11 out of the field (8 points). The same was Jayson Tatum, who needed 16 litters for 14 points (4 hits) and again took some difficult degrees, without having to have the eye for the - partially complete - free players. That was the recently topic with the Celts.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski ( espn ) there was a meeting in advance of the game with all players in which the criticism of Marcus Smart was discussed after Bulls defeat. However, this was probably a little purposeful. It became emotional and they might have done a favor, said the insider and spoke of problems that the team has longed for a long time.

NBA: Celtics just find in the game

So it took a whole half until the Celtics found in the game. Wagner caught a decent start and sank his first two throws for an early Magic leadership. By contrast, Schröder, who left his three litters in the first quarter, had less success all, so it finally went to the first pause with a narrow guidance for the home team.

On a fast 8: 0-run of the Magic, especially Brown found again and again on Celtics pages, providing that it only went with -2 from the point of view of the Celts in the pause (44:46). The small score did not result from the strong defensive of the teams, but rather from the weak offensive. Both teams did not meet 30 percent of downtown, had an ideally in the half-field offensive and laughed the game, which did not increase the attractiveness.

At the beginning of the third quarter, it was similar on the part of the Magic and the trials flew over sometimically dizzying far on the ring. Eight attempts took it until the Magic in person of Carter Jr. achieved their first point (a free throw) of the quarter - after six minutes played! Other picture with the guests. These came significantly more concentrated from the pause, pulled the intensity on both sides of the field and thanks to a 18: 1 run for the first time.

NBA: Magic after halftime completely from the role

The Magic were completely the role at this time. In the zone there was no passing to the strong Robert Williams and outside did not want to fall outside. Defensive made the absence of a physically strong centers noticeable and Williams grabbed an offensive rebound after another.

Schröder also had some good scenes and tailored, among other things, the freshly substituted Moe Wagner once neatly. After a body of Smart, the Celtics moved to play with two minutes in the third quarter even to +21 - the decision. Although Orlando managed to shorten it to -15 with a small run in the last quarter, but it should not be scarce.

The 79 meters were finally the least, which the Celtics have been conceding for three years - only 27 enemy Field Goals have not existed for more than six years. However, this is also to be attributable to a large part of the throw selection of the Magic.
