Losers of four of their last five games (and nearly the fifth), the Boston Celtics are reeling after their second loss in three days to the Orlando Magic. Fans are irked with an unexplained absence of star forward Jayson Tatum that interim Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla will only describe as “a personal thing via CLNS Media,” but a contending team should be able to play well enough to defeat a team with among the worst records in the league.
Disorganized and unengaged play from the top to the bottom of the roster is the primary culprit with perhaps a dash of an unfavorable matchup given Orlando’s size.
