Celtics too sloppy with the ball

The Celtics offense had sloppy play when it came to protecting the ball when they had a total of 18 turnovers in the loss while the Magic only turned the ball over 11 times.

There were turnovers which could’ve been preventable for the Celtics. Like, the 1st quarter traveling violation by center Luke Kornet and the two moving pick fouls by Grant Williams.

The Boston Celtics let Magic defense get 10 steals on the night including allowing shooting guard Gary Harris, Issac, and Anthony having 2 steals each.

The 18 turnovers the Boston Celtics allowed, turned into 19 points off turnovers for the Magic, which helped them win this game.

Next. NBA rumors: Jakob Poeltl would put Celtics over the top (as a title favorite). dark

The Boston Celtics will look to bounce back when they travel to Miami to face Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat Tuesday night at 7:30 pm on TNT.
