Game Notes - Boston

Magic get their butt handed to them again by the Celtics. Minutes before the game, Cuttino Mobley was scratched from the game. Speculation is that he has been traded to the Sacramento Kings for guard Doug Christie. Steve Francis was visibly upset at the possibility of his friend being traded. He did however come out and manage to play a few decent minutes - although he was definitely not his usual self. Jameer Nelson got some valuable minutes backing up Francis. It's hard to imagine why management would pull off a trade before the game, but I am sure they have their reasons.
