Huge scoring outbursts from Boston&#8217;s bench players were instrumental in securing the win, with three reserve players (Sam Hauser, 14 points, Josh Minott, 16 points, and Anfernee Simons, 23 points) scoring in double figures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Despite losing the battle of the boards 44-37, the Celtics opened up as much as a 26-point lead, only to see the Magic storm back in the game&#8217;s final frame as Orlando&#8217;s deep bench started to get hot. Ultimately the Magic just did not have enough healthy bodies to take on Boston, the Celtics holding them off for the win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the best plays from the game captured in images.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"gnt_em_img_i\" style=\"height:441px\" fetchpriority=\"high\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/87441757007-usatsi-27667507.jpg\" data-gl- decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Nov 23, 2025; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black (0) gets fouled by Boston Celtics guard Anfernee Simons (4) during the first half at TD Garden.
