The Celtics are stronger, more expensive Celtics push magic to the edge of knockout

Anyone who wishes to fight will be disappointed.

Any hope Celtics will Perform a fight Very satisfied.

After Boston’s frustrating third game, Jaylen Brown suggests that the Magic’s growing fouls and cheap shooting percentage could lead to Game 4. The possibility that already nervous series could be shaky could bring some extra ratings to TNT broadcasts.

But this did not happen.

Not because of the lack of magic. They do try to draw Boston into that kind of trouble. It's no surprise that Wendell Carter had a dispute after checking Derrick White's hip. If Anthony Black appears to target Jayson Tatum's injured wrist, and the remaining 8:03 steps will be left to aim Jayson Tatum's injured wrist, then there will be no shock.

Instead, Tatum stepped onto his angry teammates and Magic after White fell. After Black's foul, he sat on the floor and laughed, then stood up and made two free throws.

"This is my eighth year in the playoffs. I've played 115 playoff games. I've been here before," Tatum said. "I've been to these moments. Just stay steady. Don't be distracted by external things. Stay clear and try to help your team win."

The Celtics maintained their discipline and balance. They match the magic body while pushing it.

Tatum will never possess external ferocity, which will save him from doubts about resilience. His quiet and thoughtful manner is misleading. But Sunday showed off what was under the surface well.

Sitting down in the second match, he not only had a "severe bone bruise" on his shooting wrist, but also put his wrist in damage as he repeatedly drove into traffic.

Tatum scored 16 points in the fourth quarter with 37 points, while Boston's 16-7 scored 91-91 after Orlando tied for 4:18.

"It's calm, have an understanding of your environment," said Joe Mazzulla. "That's the drive of the body, it's the free throw line. Both teams are playing. You have to be able to execute on both ends of the floor. I think he's doing a great job."

Tatum seeks contact. He knew Orlando would be physical and he turned it into a free throw. He scored nine points in the fourth quarter, and he scored all 14 in the game. He scored a high of 42:11 and did not leave the floor in the second half.

"I know I'm dealing with it. My entire team knows it," Tatum said. "It's that time of year."

Currently, Brown’s comments about the fight and the officials’ comments after Game 3 “not controlling the environment” are like legitimate rejection of frustration. But if his goal is primary or secondary, it is seed seeds on the head of the official, that works.

The Celtics tried only 22 attempts in Game 3, and the Celtics made 30 free throws in 32 free throws. Boston received more free throws and did not donate as much property.

In Game 3, the Magic divided 15 offensive rebounds and 20 Celtic turnovers into 42 points. Boston narrowed 22 points in 10 turnovers and 7 offensive rebounds. The Celtics took on zero fourth-quarter turnovers when they won the victory later.

"They want to speed you up," said Jaylen Brown, who had 21 points and 11 rebounds. “They want you to shoot unwise shots and try to trick you into scammering you. You have to be patient.

“It was a huge victory,” he continued. “In a tough environment, a team that was eager to bring us out, achieved a huge victory in a tough environment.”

Now, they have the chance to return to Boston on Tuesday to take Orlando all the way. The Celtics have not squandered, but now they have won the knockout round.
