Good challenge by Mazzulla there on the Queta foul. Didn’t look like it was on him. Joe talked a little pre-game about his challenge mindset and the timeouts are a big part of it. #Celtics have a mandatory one coming up in a few minutes, so this is a spot where he’ll try it. – 3:44 PM

Paolo Banchero’s season high for 3-pointers in a game is four. He has three in the first quarter and #Magic leads #Celtics 31-27. Banchero 19; Tatum 7, Porzingis 7. – 3:36 PM

Sam Hauser’s floater was only his second attempted floater of the season, and his first make.
It’s just the fifth floater of his career so far – 3:36 PM

Have yourself a first quarter, @Pp_doesit.
Paolo Banchero goes 7-for-9 from the floor and 3-for-4 from deep on his way to 19 points in the opening frame.

Feels a bit like Banchero/FWagner/Anthony are gonna have to combine for 80 or so for the Magic to have a chance. Banchero got the memo. – 3:35 PM

Wow. Horford grabbed a steal at the rim and tossed a perfect full court pass to Tatum. That’s one of the best plays I’ve ever seen from him. – 3:33 PM

A deep route leads to a score in New England. Yes, that pass by Jaylen Brown to Jrue Holiday was on the money. – 3:24 PM

Sunday’s Boston-Orlando game is for the season series, the first to end for the Celtics this year.
What’s gotten no attention is the unprecedented lack of schedule balance.
Today is the Celtics’ 25th game…and 23rd against the East.
A ton of West games starting Tuesday in SF.. pic.twitter.com/79kcPDtXXt – 2:30 PM
