The Boston Celtics demonstrated a successful journey in the first-round playoff series after securing a substantial victory against the Orlando Magic by 120-89, moving on to the Eastern Conference semifinals. With a powerful impact from Jayson Tatum, Boston showcased a more substantial inside presence in the game.
Magic star Paolo Banchero’s misfortune of picking up two quick fouls in the third quarter shifted the momentum in favor of Boston. His focused setback to the bench was the key advantage for centers, allowing them to go on a majestic 31-9 point run, converting a tight score into a dominating lead.
Boston Celtics’ Eyes On The Semifinals
Following the conclusion of the series with Orlando, the Boston Celtics are looking forward to their upcoming semifinal battle in the Eastern Conference, where they will either face the New York Knicks or the Detroit Pistons. Currently, the Knicks are holding the lead with 3-2 following a close defeat in Game 5.
Considering the need for more strategic flexibility, the Celtics’ coach Joe Mazzulla commented, “You just have to find different ways.” After the game, he added, “That’s what this series called for. Every series calls for different things.”
Being the NBA’s top three-point shooting team in the regular season, the Boston Celtics, shockingly, didn’t make a single three-pointer in the first half. However, Jayson Tatum showcased his third consecutive 35-point performance and made his healthy comeback from his wrist injury. At the same time, Brown is making a strong presence on the offensive play.
Boston is resting now before their next series. They are eagerly getting ready to welcome their opponent, the New York Knicks or the Detroit Pistons. This is the beginning for Boston, trying to make it to the finals. The next chapter will begin soon, either at home or on the road.
