Celtics 107, Magic 98

Jayson Tatum scored 37 points with  14 rebounds and Jaylen Brown scored 21 points with 11 rebounds as the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics beat the Magic by nine points in that festering, moldy snake den of a stadium in Orlando, Florida, the venereal disease capital of North America*.

Watching the Celtics and Magic play is about as fun as watching a root canal procedure. It feels good when it's over, but painful while it's going on.

Every time I see the stitches on Porzingis' forehead or see Tatum rub his wrist or see Holiday on the sideline, I'm reminded about what a punk team the Magic are. 

The Celtics go up 3-1 in the series. Game 5 is 8:30 pm Tuesday back in the Garden. I said it before and I'll say it again: the Celtics win this series in five.

*I don't know that for a fact, but it feels good saying it.
