Magic 95, Celtics 93

 

The Orlando Magic take Game 3 in their humid, musty, swampy quagmire of a home court with a 95-93 win. The Celtics had Jayson Tatum back, but still got out-rebounded, 15-8, on offense, and turned the ball over 19 times to the Magic's 13.

Both teams had scoring runs and both led at times by double digits - the Celtics in the first half and the Magic in the second. Derrick White even tied the game up at 91 each with 2:31 left to play but Boston never led after mid-way through the third.

Big deal. The way I see it, each team has 28 chances to get 16 wins in the playoffs, and no one realistically expects to go undefeated. You gotta just keep on going until you get to that 16th double-you. 

Game 4 is Sunday night at 7:00 pm. That will be win number 3 on the road to 16.
