BOSTON (AP) — The Orlando Magic were missing three of their top five scorers for Sunday’s game against the Boston Celtics.

The Nets lost to the Celtics 113-99 on Tuesday despite the fact that the game was essentially a back-and-forth affair for the majority of the game until the final minutes of the contest. Forward Michael Porter Jr.

Anfernee Simons led the way during that 80-point scoring explosion in the first half, making him Sunday’s “Name to Know” Player of the Game. The Name to Know Player of the Game is sponsored by John’s Sewer and Drain Cleaning, the Name to Know when your drains don’t flow.

Payton Pritchard hit five 3-pointers, scored 24 points and had nine assists and the Boston Celtics used a big second half to run past the Memphis Grizzlies 131-95 on Wednesday night.

Simons epitomized the reality in front of Boston for that Nets loss, and was not being offered as an excuse for how the Celtics played.

The Detroit Pistons can establish a franchise record by winning their 14th straight game when they visit the Boston Celtics for an NBA Cup game Wednesday.
