FYI:
Boston improved to 33-1 when scoring at least 90 points this season. When the Celtics score 89 or less, they're 3-8.
The Celtics snapped the Orlando Magic's 7 game winning streak Thursday night before a packed house at the Amway Arena in Orlando by a score of 90-80.
The Magic were held to a season-low 80 points by the Celtics, who smothered them defensively. The biggest reason was their inability to hit 3-point shots. Although the Magic were leading the league in 3-point field goals (430) and 3-point field goal percentage (.403), they failed against the Celtics. They started the game by hitting only 1 of their first 10. They finished by hitting 7 of 22. The win was Boston's 7th straight.
Record breaking All Star Game vote getter Dwight Howard was limited to 11 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out with 2:30 remaining.
