Boston Celtics outlast feisty Orlando Magic squad on road 108-97

The Boston Celtics outlasted a feisty Orlando Magic squad on the road to come away with their fifth win this season in as many games via a 108-97 victory at Florida's Kia Center. The Celtics led the contest for the bulk of the second half, surviving a late push from the Magic to improve to 5-1 on the season.

Boston won the shot attempt battle 84 to 81, getting to the free throw line 26 times to 19. That they won the game despite shooting just 27 percent from beyond the arc on a night that Orlando was connecting on 36 percent of theirs while also beating Boston on the boards 43 to 41 is all the more impressive. Forcing 18 turnovers was critical for the Celtics, who racked up just 13 on their end.

Let's take a look at the best plays from the road win captured in images below.
