The Magic won the season series with the Celtics 2-1, just one of five teams to beat them multiple times in the regular season. Orlando, Indiana, Atlanta, Cleveland, and Oklahoma City accounted for 10 of Boston's 21 losses. But there's context for both sides. When Boston made its first trip to Kia Center on Dec. 23, it was an emotional night for the Magic. Two days earlier, reserve center Moe Wagner had a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee.

Someone, who was watching the Magic for the first time this season, likely wondered: "Is that Cory Joseph?"More than a decade ago, Joseph was a bright-eyed, third-year pro who became a spot starter for the 2014 champion Spurs.

Before Jamahl Mosley took questions after Thursday's practice at the AdventHealth Training Center, the Magic coach addressed something far more serious. Around the same time Orlando went through practice ahead of the start of this weekend's NBA playoff series against the Celtics, a shooting took place on the campus of Florida State University. Two victims were killed and six other people injured after a lone shooter opened fire at FSU in Tallahassee on Thursday, according to law enforcement.

Osceola #Magic drop Game 2 of the G League Finals at Stockton, which sets up a winner-take-all Game 3 Monday night inside Osceola Heritage Park at 8 p.m. on ESPN2.
My @orlandosports recap as the #Magic blow out the Pacers with no starters for either side: “I loved their effort,” Jamahl Mosley said about Orlando. “I loved their togetherness … They did a very good job and that’s what these opportunities are about…” https://t.co/oMIIPDSlft
#Magic coach Jamahl Mosley was asked by @philiprr_OMD at Indiana about the fact they’re facing Atlanta in the Play-In: “You start preparing by watching past games, what we’ve done, what they’ve done … The beauty of it and the blessing is being at home in front of our fans.” https://t.co/8rqQIV9XHO
Hawks win at Philadelphia. So Tuesday night’s Play-In game at Kia Center is set: No. 7 #Magic will host No. 8 Atlanta for a chance at the 7-seed in the NBA playoffs. Game time on TNT is still TBD.
