The Celtics then, at that point, went out and supported up their discussion with their best protective exertion of the period in a 92-79 defeat of the Magic. 

Jaylen Brown scored 28 focuses and the Celtics utilized a 18-1 run toward the beginning of the subsequent half to tear open a nearby game. Boston, which saw monitor Marcus Smart be reproachful of partners Jayson Tatum and Brown after a Monday misfortune to Chicago, restricted Orlando to 10 focuses in the second from last quarter. 

"A social affair, a group supper — it was only great to eat together and hang out," Horford said of the Tuesday meeting in which lead trainer Ime Udoka let players be for roughly 30 minutes to work through their disparities. "Above all, we discussed ensuring we came out and had a decent trip. Protectively, I felt like we made a few strides." 

Jayson Tatum added 14 focuses as the Celtics snapped a three-game losing streak and crushed the Magic for a seventh back to back time throughout the last three seasons. Boston made 11 of its initial 17 shots of the subsequent half. 

"We discussed their 18-point second quarter and we needed to have some remainder," Udoka said. "We needed to secure the paint and make them beat us with hop shots." 

Horford had 12 focuses, 12 bounce back and seven helps for the Celtics, who won notwithstanding shooting 41.8% from the floor. Brown made 12 of 17 shots and had his fifth 20-point round of the period. 

Wendell Carter Jr. Had 13 focuses and 13 bounce back for the Magic, who stayed winless at home. The Magic scored 28 focuses in the initial 12 minutes for their first-quarter lead of the period. Be that as it may, they gathered only 33 after halftime. 

"In that second from last quarter, we got baffled when our activities were generally not working," Carter said. "We were making the main effort as opposed to getting to the subsequent side. That is youthfulness." 

Following 46-44 after a slow first half, Boston woke up disagreeably in the second from last quarter, fleeing from the cool shooting Magic. When Orlando had missed 14 of its initial 15 shots of the third time frame, Boston had constructed an agreeable 69-50 lead. 

Keen TALK 

Udoka said he generally approved of Smart getting down on Tatum and Brown for what he considered to be a reluctance to share the ball in Boston's final quarter emergency on Monday. All things considered, Udoka said, Smart just expressed what he tells players every day. 

"I've lectured that from Day 1 with Jayson and Jaylen, and it's just with regards to them developing into playmakers," Udoka said. "Marcus, Jayson and Jaylen have a long history together, and each group I've at any point been on has had minutes when they butt heads. It's nothing we haven't discussed." 

Udoka said the Celtics' lethargic beginning to the season is more an aftereffect of their powerlessness to finish off games than narrow-mindedness by any players. 

"Losing two twofold additional time games where Jayson had a match dominating shot against New York and Jaylen had a shot to win it against Washington, and afterward the last game where we were up 19, the record is a certain something, yet it's a higher perspective methodology," Udoka said. "It could undoubtedly be 4-3, 5-2, and there presumably wouldn't be inquiries regarding (the record). Yet, the reality we haven't completed, you will get these inquiries, and 2-5 isn't up to the norm or where we'd prefer to be."
