What Joe Mazzulla has learned through the first 13 games: “That we care. There’s a high care factor and there’s a high competitive factor, and I think over the course of a season there’s a lot you can do with that. So we just gotta continue to get better."

Another growing-pain loss for the Celtics. Boston held a 96–95 lead when Josh Minott’s turnover flipped the momentum. From there, Orlando closed the game on a 28–14 run over the final 5:49 to (painfully) put the C’s away. A tough pill to swallow.
