NBA PLAYOFFS
The NBA playoff series between the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic heads to Florida, with the hosts in need of a win to maintain a realistic shot at an upset.
The Celtics have gained the upper hand after two games in Boston, holding a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. The defending NBA champions put together a dominant second half in Game 1, winning 103-86. Game 2 was a tighter affair, but the Celtics held out for a nine-point win thanks in part to a 36-point effort from Jaylen Brown.
Much of the pre-game chatter has focused on Boston star Jayson Tatum, who suffered a right distal radius bone bruise in Game 1. The forward missed Game 2, but the Boston Sports Journal posted video of Tatum, who is officially questionable to play, participating in a pre-game shootaround Friday evening.
