Celtics adapted to Magic's physicality in 1st-round win. Rest is focus with Knicks or Pistons next

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Celtics are a step closer to repeating as NBA champions. And they showed they have a path to getting there that doesn’t revolve around them just making a bunch of 3-pointers. Boston’s 120-89 victory over the Orlando Magic in Game 5 on Tuesday night earned them a 4-1 series win and a second-round matchup with either the New York Knicks or Detroit Pistons.

New York currently leads that series 3-2. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content. Please enable it in your browser settings.
