Celtics 103, Magic 86

 

It got a little dicey there late in the second period when Orlando overcame a 9-point deficit to take a one-point lead into halftime, but other than that it was all Celtics all the way. Derrick White led the way with 30 points, Pritchard scored 19 off the bench, and Tatum got his double double on 17 points and  14 rebounds. 

It's only the first game of the Playoffs and the road ahead is long and arduous, so let's not draw too many conclusions after one game. 

I stand by my prediction of Celtics in five for this series.
