Magic knock off C's

Playing with all their key players for the first time all season, the Boston Celtics came up short in a 96-89 home loss to the Magic on Sunday afternoon.

Rajon Rondo put up 17 points, eight rebounds and nine assists in the game, but it wasn't enough to overcome Orlando's 36-11 spurt in third quarter.

The Celtics have just one game remaining before the All-Star break, coming at 8 p.m. Wednesday night in New Orleans against the Hornets.
