Boston Celtics Vs Orlando Magic Match Player Stats

Here’s every number, every box score, and the two specific stats that explain how Boston pulled this off.

The Game at a Glance

How the Scoring Broke Down Quarter by Quarter?

Orlando won the first quarter by nine points and matched Boston in the second. The game was theirs to control.

Then Q3 happened.

Boston scored 42 points in the third quarter — held Orlando to 20 — and that 22-point swing buried whatever the Magic had built.

The fourth quarter was a four-point Orlando win (27–19), but you can’t dig out of a 22-point hole in 12 minutes against this Celtics team.

That third quarter is the entire game. Everything else is context.

Boston Celtics Player Stats

Baylor Scheierman — 30 PTS | 7 REB | 7 AST | +15

Start here, because most people aren’t talking enough about Scheierman. Thirty points, seven assists, six three-pointers, and 8-of-8 from the free throw line.

His +15 was the best on either team. He made five of his six fast-break points and shot 42.9% from three on 14 attempts — volume shooting that actually landed.

Luka Garza — 27 PTS | 12 REB | Double-Double | +13

Garza was the quieter force. He shot 55.6% from the field, hit three of six threes, and grabbed 12 boards — a double-double that the Magic had no real answer for.

He made all four free throws and scored four second-chance points. His offensive rating of 128.5 on the night was the best individual number either team produced.

Ron Harper Jr. — 27 PTS | 7 REB | 4 AST | +7

Harper ran. Thirteen of his 27 points came in transition, and he shot 50% from the floor overall.

He was the first-half engine when the Celtics were playing catch-up against a team that came out sharper. True shooting of 64.7% on 20 field goal attempts — efficient, fast, decisive.

Supporting Celtics Performances

• John Tonje — 13 PTS: Three three-pointers off the bench. Did exactly what he was asked.
• Jordan Walsh — 9 PTS | 8 REB: Went 2-of-9 from the field and was -14 on the night, the worst mark on Boston’s roster. But eight rebounds off the bench has value, and he got to the line four times.
• Dalano Banton — 2 PTS | 4 REB | 7 AST: The most interesting quiet line of the game. Seven assists, four blocks, and only two points. He was running the offense, not scoring it.

Full Celtics Box Score

Team free throws: 22/22 — 100%. That’s not a rounding error.

Orlando Magic Player Stats

Paolo Banchero — 23 PTS | 10 REB | 11 AST — Triple-Double

The triple-double is real and it was hard-earned. Banchero got almost nothing easy — 7-of-22 from the field, 0-of-5 from three — but he refused to disappear.

He scored 14 points in the paint, made nine free throws, and generated 12 fast-break points despite poor perimeter shooting. His 11 assists kept Orlando functional when shots weren’t falling.

The six turnovers hurt. His defensive rating of 113.7 was the worst on the Magic’s roster. But this was a star player willing every stat line he could find out of a cold-shooting night.

Jalen Suggs — 23 PTS | 6 REB | 3 AST | +6

Suggs was the most efficient Magic scorer, and it wasn’t close. He went 7-of-15 from three — 46.7% — and converted all three fast-break attempts at 100%.

True shooting of 67.6% was the best mark on Orlando’s roster. The +6 was also the team’s best. In a different game, this is the headline performance.

Franz Wagner — 20 PTS | 4 REB

Wagner reached 20 points and drew five fouls, so he did his job. But 7-of-18 from the field — including 2-of-7 from three — in a game where three-point shooting decided everything made his night feel smaller than the number looks.

Anthony Black — 13 PTS | 3 REB

Shot 55.6% from the field and was 4-of-4 on paint attempts. His -13 on the night is mostly lineup timing — he was on the floor for stretches of Boston’s third-quarter takeover. The individual efficiency was fine.

Team Stats: Where Orlando Won and Where It Didn’t Matter?

Orlando won six of those eleven categories. They had more fast-break points, more paint points, more bench production, and a significant rebounding edge.

By most measures of physical play in the half-court and in transition, they were the better team.

Boston won the only two categories that, on this particular night, overrode everything else.

The Two Stats That Explain the Final Score

Three-point differential: BOS 19 made, ORL 12 made.

Seven extra made threes at three points each is 21 additional points. That’s your margin and then some. Suggs went 7-of-15 and kept Orlando in the game single-handedly from deep.

Everyone else? Wagner 2-of-7. Banchero 0-of-5. Da Silva 0-of-2. Carter Jr. 0-of-2. The Magic attempted 43 threes — only Suggs was making them.

Boston spread the three-point damage across four players (Scheierman 6, Harper 5, Garza 3, Tonje 3). No single player carried it. That’s harder to defend.

Free throw shooting: BOS 22/22 (100%), ORL 24/30 (80%).

Orlando shot well from the line by any normal standard. But in a five-point game, Boston’s perfect 22-of-22 versus Orlando’s six missed free throws is exactly a six-point swing. That’s the margin right there — plus one.

Those two numbers don’t appear in the highlight reel. But they’re why the Celtics won a game where they got outrun, outworked on the boards, and outscored off the bench.

Conclusion

Boston Celtics 113, Orlando Magic 108. Five points, decided by three-point volume and the fact that Boston didn’t miss a single free throw all night.

Banchero’s 23-point triple-double and Suggs’s sharpshooting from deep gave Orlando every chance to win this.

They just needed the rest of their roster to hit threes at something close to league average — and they didn’t get it.

Scheierman’s 30 points and Garza’s double-double were terrific. But the real story of this game isn’t in the star performances.

It’s in a 42-point third quarter, 19 made threes, and 22-of-22 from the line. That’s what winning looks like when you’re not playing your best basketball.
