Game Preview
Orlando took one game in the series and hoped to level the score afterward to 2-all. Still, after a big battle in Game 4, Magic had to lay down its arms in front of the Celtics.
Paolo Banchero had 31 points, Franz Wagner added 24, and the Magic hit a miserable 8 threes in their own house. They also grabbed just 38 boards, which was another reason they lost Game 4.
Jayson Tatum demolished the Magic, scoring 37 points, grabbing 14 boards, and making three steals. The Celtics’ other superstar, Jaylen Brown, scored 21 and had 11 boards, playing tough defense against Orlando’s guards.

Kristaps Porzingis, with 19 buckets, and Derrick White, with 18 (and 7 boards and assists each) were perfect sidekicks and x-factors. It is interesting to say that the Cs had only 6 points off the bench.
Magic vs. Celtics Head to Head
