The Boston Celtics have taken a commanding 3-1 lead over the Orlando Magic in their playoff series, winning Game 4 107-98. Jayson Tatum led the way with an impressive 37 points, 14 rebounds, and three assists, while Jaylen Brown added a double-double of 21 points and 11 rebounds. Despite Tatum's right wrist injury and Jrue Holiday's hamstring issues keeping him sidelined for two games, Boston's depth was on display with Kristaps Porzingis and Derrick White contributing significant points.

However, the series has not been without its challenges, as the Celtics have faced injuries, particularly to key players like Tatum and Holiday. Head coach Joe Mazzulla's remarks about the Magic's physical style of play have sparked mixed reactions among fans, further emphasizing the intensity of the series. With Game 5 looming, Boston aims to finish the series at home and advance to the next round.
