Nikola Vucevic weighed in with 24 points as the Orlando Magic defeated the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden on Monday in an Eastern Conference upset.
Montenegrin center Vucevic also hauled down 12 rebounds to give Orlando their second win of the season in a 93-90 victory.
Orlando surged into an early 28-19 lead at the end of the first quarter and held a 48-45 lead at half-time.
The Magic kept their noses in front for the entire contest, with Boston unable to take the lead at any stage as Orlando held on.
Four other Orlando players cracked double figures on a night when the scoring was shared around by the visitors.
Jonathan Isaac had 18 points while Evan Fournier (14) and Aaron Gordon (13) also contributed.
Boston, tipped as one of the favorites for the Eastern Conference title this season, struggled to get going.
