In a series that forced the Celtics to shift away from their usual style, the Magic never solved the Tatum problem. He slammed the door on them with 35 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in Game 5 after dominating in crunchtime of Game 4 in a 37-point, 14-rebound outing.

Boston was an abysmal 10-of-40 from three-point range as a team, while Tatum went 5-of-19 from the field and 1-of-5 from deep. Jaylen Brown had six turnovers to one assist, while a typically dominant defender in Jrue Holiday committed the late foul on Brunson.

This year, the Boston Celtics stormed into the postseason looking every bit like title favorites, boasting a dominant 61-21 regular season record. But it didn’t take long for them to realize that the Orlando Magic weren’t just bringing skill to this series but they were bringing serious physicality too.
