ORLANDO, Fla. – The Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics square off Wednesday night in the Kia Center at 7 p.m. ET.

Boston's overtime victory versus New York Tuesday improved them to 59-20 this season.

Meet the Coaches

Jamahl Mosley, Orlando Magic: Mosley tipped off his fourth NBA season as a head coach this season, all of which having come with the Magic. He's 141-184 in the regular season all-time, and 3-4 in the playoffs. Before Mosley was named the head coach of the Magic, he was an assistant with Dallas, Cleveland, and Denver. He's a Colorado alum, and played four years of professional basketball in Mexico, Australia, Finland and South Korea.

Joe Mazzulla, Boston Celtics: Mazzulla, 36 years old, mans the sidelines for his third season as the Celtics' coach this year. In each of his first two seasons, Boston finished atop the Eastern Conference. They hoisted the Larry O'Brien trophy a historic 18th time this past June after his team cruised through the playoffs in just 19 games (16-3). Prior to taking over as head coach, the former West Virginia Mountaineer was an assistant on the Celtics' bench for three seasons. He's regarded as one of the brightest, young polarizing minds in the game today.
