The Magic levelled the game at 91-91 in the fourth quarter but the Celtics took control by scoring 10 of the next 11 points at Kia Center in Orlando. Boston, who are seeded second, are 3-1 ahead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series. The New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers also took 3-1 leads in the East.

Neither the game's physicality, its chippiness, nor the continued struggles for Boston to connect from beyond the arc stymied the Celtics.
