Banchero has hooked Jaylen and now pushed him with his arm fully extended. No fouls.

If Jrue Holiday is scoring, it’s game over.

Tatum, 3 Fouls in the 1st Half.

Whoa there, young fella.
We need you later on.

White gets bumped and no foul. The refs calling it by 90s rules.

Seems to me that these Magic crumble when things don't go their way.

He was awful for about the first month.



For sure, he started slow and im not gonna crazy with the praise over this last stretch but i do think we're seeing a maturation of his game. I wouldnt use phrases like leap or leveling up. He's just cutting down all the worst stuff. which is 85% of what we ever wanted

Might be best scoring half of Jrue’s Celtics career. He was aggressive!

Offensive execution and defense was an absolute thing of beauty over the last 8 min or so - Tatum not even in either

I can’t even get mad at that turnaround fadeaway of his. Might be a bad shot for 95% of the league. But he’s just making them with consistency.

Don’t know how he has done it but Jaylen Brown playing aggressive and making things happen in the first half with 0 fouls and 0 turnovers is very impressive

Banchero getting a Giannis and LeBald whistle today. Disgusting.

Brown playing like an all star on both ends so far.

We're controlling the boards and playing pretty good defense so far (except on Banchero). Would like to see more assisted baskets on the second half.

Celtics drop coverage and letting Banchero shoot wide open 3 after wide open 3 is what got Banchero going. Celtics need him to cool off.
