Video: Orlando Magic 95, Boston Celtics 92 highlights
The Boston Celtics had another horrid shooting performance and lost their 2nd straight game at home to the Orlando Magic Sunday afternoon. Paolo Banchero led the Magic to victory with 31 points, while Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 24.
The Celtics played this one without Jayson Tatum, so they either needed an even higher scoring game from Jaylen or for others to step up, and unfortunately that didn't happen. This is the Celtics fourth loss in the last five games.
The Celtics still have five more games on this homestand to wrap up 2022. The first of those five will be Wednesday when they host the Pacers. Hopefully in the next couple days the team will rediscover its missing shooting stroke."You thought we was just going to shoot lights out for the whole season... s**t I wish. It never goes like that."
