The red-hot Boston Celtics head to Orlando to face a surprisingly solid Magic team through the first few weeks of the season. The emergence of Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic as 3 point shooters has propelled the Magic to the 4th most points per game, and the most efficient 3 point shooting team. Meanwhile, Al Horford, Kyrie Irving, and the Celtics will look to extend their longest winning streak under Brad Stevens to 8 games Sunday night. 

Marcus Morris finally made his debut after recovering from an injury and helped key the Boston Celtics comeback with 7 points over a 2 minute span. Al Horford is a big reason why the Celtics hold the best record in the NBA. His defensive stats are off the charts thus far.

It took a while, but the Celtics got their road legs under them and charged back from 18 points down to defeat the Thunder Friday night 101-94. Kyrie Irving scored nearly all of his 25 points in the second half and was unguardable down the stretch. Al Horford couldn't miss and went 8-of-10 overall, hitting all four of his threes.
