We limited their 3pt attempts and were flying around to close out shots. They also just missed.

Let’s just say Hunter and their other bench players didn’t go a ridiculous 10-12 from 3 like last time or whatever it was.

Both. They shot 25% which is their 2nd worst shooting game of the season.

But the Magic were closing out with an level of consistent effort and aggressiveness they haven't shown in a couple of months.

Not good enough to hang with Cavs this season, but good enough to snap their win streak here.
Game with some playoff flavor, best win in a long time.

Honestly would rather play Cleveland than Boston.
I think Boston has a weaker front line.

The defense was good. AB and Harris had a stretch where they weren't allowing the ball over half court

Boston in my opinion is the better team and the defending champs

We're in the Celtics heads. I think we've won like 6 out of 9 or something like that.

The Boston just won the Title and we took Cleveland to game 7 last season. We aren’t beating either team but did not think this would be a controversial take lol.

I simply don't see how any current team can beat Celtics 3 let alone 4 times in 7 games.
