The Boston Celtics will host the Orlando Magic in Game 5 of the first-round playoff series in the Eastern Conference. With a commanding 3-1 lead in the series, the defending champions are looking for their fourth straight conference semifinals. <\/p>
On the other hand, the Magic would aim for a breakthrough in the series to push for Game 6, where they can tie the series. Let’s go through the previews for both teams, injury report and more ahead of Game 5. <\/p>
The Boston Celtics arrived at TD Garden with the mindset of wrapping up the series in five games. The 3-point shooting struggle would be a topic of discussion for Joe Muzzula, who is just one win away from claiming a second-round appearance for the seventh time in the last eight years. In Game 4, Boston held a four-point lead after three quarters, and the match would have gone out of their hands, but Magic allowed them to take control. <\/p>
