The Boston Celtics are back in the playoffs and will try to defend their title in 2025. Up first for the reigning champs is a first-round series against the Orlando Magic and Boston took care of business at home to kick things off by winning Game 1 103-86 on Sunday and following that up with a 109-100 victory in Game 2 on Wednesday.

The Warriors suffered a game-changing loss when Jimmy Butler exited in the first half with a pelvic contusion and was ruled out for the rest of the game. Tensions mounted between the sides in the second half, and the Rockets’ aggressive win evened the series 1-1.

Magic wing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope entered the court to a chorus of boos from the TD Garden crowd after his foul in Game 1 knocked Tatum out for Wednesday. He didn't bother trying to endear himself to the masses over the next 48 minutes.
