Any person expecting the fight was disappointed.
Anyone hopes that Celtics would show the fight, more than being satisfied.
Following the disadvantage of Boston’s disappointing game 3, Jelane Brown suggested that the growing number of magic and cheap shots of flags could lead to a game 4 battle. It is likely that the stressful chain can already move to the edge, possibly bringing some additional ratings in TNT broadcasting.
But it didn’t happen.
Not for lack of magic. He tried to suck Boston in the same kind of trouble. It is not surprising if there was a change after the hip-check of Vendel Carter on Deric White. And no one is surprised if Soving after Anthony Black stated that Jason appeared to target Tatam’s injured wrist with a difficult dishonesty with 8:03.
Instead, Tatam stepped among the magic players after his agrear team’s colleagues and the white. And after the dishonesty of Black, he sat on the floor and laughed before getting up and made both free throw.
“This is my eighth year in the playoffs. I have played 115 playoff games. I am first here,” said Tatam. “I have been in these moments. Just be composed. Don’t be distracted by things outside. Stay at level level and what you can do to help your team win.”
Celtics maintained his discipline and his poetry. They matched the materiality of magic, while at the same time they pushed through it.
Tatam will never have external rage which will protect him from questions about his ruthlessness. His calm and thoughtful conduct is misleading. But Sunday was a good performance of flowing below the surface.
After sitting out of the game 2, he has not only played on his shooting wrist through “severe bone scratches”, but has put that wrist in the way of damage because he had repeatedly gone into traffic.
Tatam scored 16 out of 37 points in the fourth quarter and nine of Boston’s 16–7 game-closing runs left with 91–91 with 4:18 with 91–91.

“This is a poem and your environment understands,” Joe Mazullah said. “They were reaching the physical drive free-thro line. Both teams were playing physical. You should be able to execute on both ends of the floor. I felt that they had done a great job.”
Tatam sought contact. He knew that Orlando would be physical and threw it free. He made nine out of nine in the fourth quarter and all 14 they took the game. He played a game-hai 42:11 and did not leave the floor in the second half.
“I know what I am doing. My whole team knows,” Tatam said. “This is the time of the year.”
At the moment, about the brown battle and the authorities commented on “the environment not controlled” after Game 3, as it seemed like a legal off-the-cuff frustration. But if his goal, primary or secondary, was planting a seed in the heads of the officers, then it did it.
Celtics made 30 out of 32 free throw as a team after trying just 22 in Game 3. Boston took more free throw and did not give many assets.
In Game 3, Magic converted 15 aggressive rebounds and 20 cultics turnover into 42 points. Boston took the number to 22 points on 10 turnover and allowed seven aggressive rebels. Celtics turned the zero fourth quarter turnover as they sealed the late win.
“They want to speed you,” Jelane Brown said, who had 21 points and 11 rebounds. “They want you to take sick-rah shots and they try to give you fodder in it. You have patience.
“It was a major victory,” he continued. “A major victory on the road in a difficult environment against a team that was eager to take us out.”
Now he has a chance to get Orlando out on Tuesday in Boston. Celtics did not throw a punch, but now there is a win from completing the knockout.
