Magic suffer second-half collapse, fall to Celtics 92-79

ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando missed its first 11 shots as the Magic shot an abysmal 22% in the second half as visiting Boston turned a 2-point halftime deficit into a 92-79 win Wednesday.

The Magic went 6 minutes without a point in the third quarter before Wendell Carter Jr. connected on the second of two free throws. The first bucket of the half came at the 5:33 mark when Cole Anthony connected on a 25-footer. It snapped an 0-for-11 streak from the floor by Orlando, which was outscored 31-10 in the quarter.

Any momentum the Magic (2-7) hoped would come from their second win of the season in Minnesota on Monday dissipated in the third quarter.
