The NBA Playoffs 2025 series between the Orlando Magic and the Boston Celtics now moves to Florida. The first two games were interesting, with the second game spicing things up for the 18-time NBA Champions. Now, the Orlando Magic host the Boston Celtics at their home turf for the third game.

The Boston Celtics took things lightly after their triumph in the first match. The whole narrative around the series was that it would be done within the fourth game, and Orlando Magic would be proven to be a disappointment. However, Magic slammed that narrative by taking the fight to Boston, and they nearly pulled off a major upset as well.

Orlando Magic’s defense improved its game, stopping the stacked attack from the Celtics at 109. Jaylen Brown ran away with the game by scoring 36 points. Magic’s Paolo Banchero upped his game by scoring 32 points, while Franz Wagner hit 25 points. Though the forwards did their job, if the guards had stepped up, the story around the series would be different now.
