ORLANDO, Fla. -- Avery Bradley and the Boston Celtics made up for Isaiah Thomas absence by spreading the ball around.Bradley scored 23 points, Jae Crowder had 15 points and 10 rebounds and the Celtics routed the Orlando Magic 117-87 on Wednesday night.Boston shot 51.2 percent from the field and had seven players score in double figures, bouncing back nicely from a disappointing 107-106 loss at Houston on Monday night. Terry Rozier scored a career-high 16 points, and Amir Johnson, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart finished with 13 apiece.It was an impressive offensive performance while playing without Thomas, who was held out after he suffered a groin injury against the Rockets. Boston (13-9) trailed by one at the break, but grabbed control with a big third quarter and pulled away in the final period.Whenever we have somebody down we come together and try to figure out a game plan, Bradley said. And our game plan was to get it done on the defensive end and make sure we are moving the ball on the offensive end.Orlando shot 37 percent from the field. D.J. Augustin scored 15 points -- all the first half -- and Evan Fournier had 14.The Magic were coming off a 4-1 road trip, including a 124-116 victory against Washington on Tuesday night.Weve just got to play better, coach Frank Vogel said. The second game of back to back cant be an excuse. Every other team plays in these situations. If were going to be a playoff team, weve got to win these games.The Magic (10-13) came out cold in the third quarter and the Celtics took advantage. Bradley made a 3-pointer and Crowder connected on a jumper to help Boston open a 67-54 lead with 6:22 left.The Celtics outscored the Magic 58-26 in points in the paint.Like Ive said before, were always trying to attack the paint first, Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. One of the things we want to do, especially in Isaiahs absence is play through our bigs and through the post.TIP-INSCeltics: Smart replaced Thomas in the starting lineup. ...
