In a tightly contested matchup, the Boston Celtics defeated the Orlando Magic 111-107 at the Kia Center.

Both teams entered the game with similar records; the Magic held a 4-6 record while the Celtics were slightly better at 5-6. The Magic had recently shown some improvement, winning their last game against the Celtics and managing to score an average of 115.8 points while allowing 116.8 points over their last ten games. They had a home record of 2-2 and an away record of 2-4, with their recent form showing a 3-2 record in their last five games, averaging 119.8 points scored and 114.6 points allowed.

Paolo Banchero made critical free throws and a two-point shot, bringing the Magic close. However, Derrick White and Jordan Walsh of the Celtics responded with timely three-pointers, maintaining their lead. Despite the Magic's efforts, including free throws from Wagner, they could not close the gap sufficiently to secure a win.
