Celtics Edge Magic in Thriller, Leaving Series on a Knife’s Edge at 3-1
There’s something electrifying about playoff basketball, isn’t there? Last night, the Boston Celtics—yeah, the defending champs—pulled off a gritty 107-98 win against the Orlando Magic in game four of the opening round. Jayson Tatum was absolutely on fire, dropping 37 points and snatching 14 boards, hitting every single one of his free throws. Talk about clutch! The Magic had a moment when they knotted it up at 91-all in the fourth, but Boston slammed the door shut, rattling off 10 of the next 11 to seize control at the Kia Center. With that W, the Celtics now flirt with a 3-1 lead over Orlando in this Eastern Conference saga. Elsewhere in the East, the Knicks and Pacers also shine with similar advantages, while in the West, the Lakers are scrambling from behind after a nailbiter loss to the Timberwolves. It’s playoff madness in full swing, and trust me, you won’t wanna blink now. LEARN MORE
