The Boston Celtics are gearing up to defend their NBA title against the Orlando Magic in the first round of the playoffs. The Magic secured their spot by defeating the Atlanta Hawks in the Play-In Tournament. While the Celtics are considered favorites, the Magic’s strong defense could pose a challenge, especially with their recent success against Boston. The Magic’s slow-paced, defensive style could disrupt the Celtics’ 3-point-heavy offense. However, the Celtics have star players like Jayson Tatum, who lead in 3-pointers, and they are confident in their ability to outscore the Magic. With players like Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner leading the charge for Orlando, the Celtics will need to shut down their 3-point shooting to secure a victory. The first game between the two teams is set to take place at TD Garden on Sunday, and it promises to be an intense matchup between the defending champions and the resilient Magic.
