The Celtics, whose 13:35 record is still the best in the league, haven't lost since January 3rd in Oklahoma City.
"I think that says more about Orlando and how they played tonight," Boston coach Joe Mazzola said.
"They were physical, and I thought they played really well."

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 20 of his 29 points in the first quarter, returning to the lineup after a five-game absence, to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 130:150 victory over the Detroit Pistons tonight.
