Asked what happened to his wrist after the game, Tatum replied that he "just fell on it, landed on it." Thankfully, the x-rays came back negative.

Mazzulla went with his usual starters, but mixed and matched throughout the entire first half searching for some rhythm of both ends of the floor. The starters came out uneven offensively, and the bench was much of the same outside of Payton Pritchard until halftime.

Derrick White poured in 30 points, Payton Pritchard added 19 off the bench, and Jrue Holiday sparked the Celtics’ 30-16 third-quarter run to ensure that the Magic did not linger. Jayson Tatum added 17 points and 14 rebounds, but was 1 for 8 from the 3-point line and 0 for 4 from the foul line.
