In the wisdom acquired during his 10 complete NBA seasons, Kenny Anderson is constantly reminded that on this Celtics team there's no going back to his free-flowing offensive days of the past.

But for 24 minutes last night, he was the Kenny Anderson of old: passing, penetrating and scoring seemingly at his leisure.

Anderson finished with 19 points, seven assists and five rebounds in a 110-94 Celtics win over the Orlando Magic, with all of his points and helpers coming in the first half.

``I just played man,'' Anderson said. ``I just played and asserted myself more. That's all. Be aggressive.''
