Orlando brought wands, Boston brought flamethrowers — and just like that, the series vanished.
Well, that escalated quickly.
The Celtics didn’t just win — they snapped the Magic’s playoff dreams like a backboard after a Shaq dunk. Final score? 120–89. Emotionally? Worse.
Jayson Tatum turned TD Garden into a highlight reel production studio, and Jaylen Brown looked like he downloaded cheat codes overnight. The Celtics bench was having so much fun they practically started Googling vacation spots mid-4th quarter.
The Magic? Bless ‘em. They showed up, they tried, and then they watched their season get Thanos-snapped. Paolo Banchero gave it what he could, but even he looked like he was asking Siri how to stop a 20-2 run.
Boston’s defense was so suffocating it should’ve come with a warning label. At one point, the Magic had more turnovers than successful plays — and their bench looked like a live reaction meme generator.
This wasn’t just a win — it was a “don’t text your ex, text your therapist” type of night for Orlando.
With this blowout, the Celtics close out the series, leaving the Magic to hit the offseason with more questions than answers and probably a few therapy sessions scheduled.
