The series from the first round between Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic moves to TD Garden for a game 5 on Tuesday. Defense champion Celtics is just one win from eliminating magic and progressing to the next round, with three chances to do so. Boston right now He runs a 3-1 series, securing victories in Games 1, 2 and 4.
Meanwhile, magic is located with the back on the wall, desperate to extend their post -season running. The victory of the 5th game 5 would hold their hopes in the playoffs and give it an urgency to increase confidence for a potential return. However, the chances of overcoming a 3-1 deficit remain slender.
The Celts were rarely in full force during this series, but Orlando Magic struggled to understand how to beat them. Paolo Banchero And Franz Wagner made offensive loads consistently, consistently reinforced by Orlando.
However, one of the greatest magical failures was the lack of offensive contribution to Kentaviou Caldwell-Pope. Although the double NBA champion, Caldwell-Pope failed to provide significant support for Bancher and Wagner. Although his defense was extraordinary, the magic needs more than the veterans of his caliber at the offensive area.
In contrast, role players in Boston have impressively amplified the support stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Al Horford performed huge performance in Game 4 with five blocks, and Derrick White was a allocation in all four games, especially with 3 points in game 1.
