The first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs is heating up as teams look to seal their place in the second round. Among this weekend's slate of games is Sunday's Game 4 matchup between the Celtics and the Magic.
After dropping to 0-2 in the series, Orlando used the hometown crowd to propel them to a 95-93 victory on Friday. The dynamic duo of Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero scored 32 and 29 points respectively during the win. Orlando's physical brand of defense was able to force 21 turnovers from Boston.
The Celtics did boast a 10-point lead at halftime, but Orlando held Boston to just 11 points in the third quarter. In that same frame, the Magic scored 24 points, which proved to be a smidge too much for the Celtics to overcome despite outscoring Orlando 23-22 in the final quarter.
In his return to the starting lineup, Jayson Tatum scored 36 points and snagged nine rebounds during the Game 3 loss. It was also a rather rough night by the Celtics' standards from beyond the arc, going just 9-for-27 from three-point range.
