Tobias Harris scores 19: Vucevic and O Quinn achieve a double-double to lead Magic to win over Celtics

I wish I could have been at this game, after the disappointment of Sunday night losing to the Philadelphia 76ers. I might have almost had a meltdown after the Orlando Magic were outscored in the 4th quarter 35-15.  The Orlando Magic to me were too relaxed on defense, who knows maybe one of the Celtics players fed the Magic some Nyquil before the 4th quarter started , I'm just kidding.  I think the saving grace of this game is the the Orlando Magic in the first quarter held the Boston Celtics to just 9 points.  The Magic started good but didn't finish good, in spite of that though, the Orlando Magic hold on to beat the Boston Celtics 100-95. Tobias Harris lead the way for the Magic with 19 points and 4 rebounds.  The Orlando Magic big men achieved double-doubles.  Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic scored 18 points and pulled down 12 rebounds,  Kyle O Quinn scored 18 points and pulled down 13 rebounds.  Here are the stats for the Orlando Magic and the Boston Celtics.

I've been looking at the stats of Tobias Harris, and I feel they should give him an extension. Tobias Harris is averaging 18.6 points per game, 7.2 rebounds per game, 2.1 assists per game, shooting 47 percent from the field, 39 from three and 80 percent from the line.  I feel that up until the fourth quarter this is a great win for the Orlando Magic.
