Brown Delivers in the fourth quarter, propels Boston to another win over Orlando

For the second time within the last 72 hours, the Celtics not-so-quietly put out all that smoke to beat Orlando, a team that has had their number in recent years.

BOSTON — Players and coaches alike will tell you that every regular season win is a good win, with none having any real value above the others.

It’s a lie.

Every team in every season, will play games that mean more than others even if the reasons are real or just glorified, motivating fiction.

Boston entered its last two games, both against an Orlando Magic team that has found wins against Boston coming easier than anyone expected.

So to say that the Celtics went into these last two games with added incentive, does not do justice to the mental approach Boston had coming into these last two games.

The edge, focus, intensity - all those intangibles that have come to define the Celtics at different mile markers in this still-young NBA season - were on display against Orlando in ways we have seldom seen come together at a high level, on the same night for Boston.

And the end result?

A 114-97 Celtics victory.

Here are the Stars, Studs and Duds in Boston’s victory which extended their home winning streak to 14 in a row.
