Payton Pritchard outscored New York’s entire bench all by himself while the Celtics offense returned to its dominant ways while racking up 20 makes from long distance. A raucous crowd at Madison Square Garden did nothing to harm Boston – and actually may have done the opposite – as the ‘road dogs’ continued to pile up wins on the road this season. We’re sounding off on it all, including observations from start to finish of Game 3, to Kristaps Porzingis’ health, to what to expect in Monday’s Game 4.

The Boston Celtics weren’t able to get a shot off at the end of overtime to potentially tie the game up and the New York Knicks outlasted them for a 108-105 win at TD Garden. The win gives New York home-court advantage right out of the gates, while the Celtics aim to regain their rhythm Wednesday night. We’re sounding off on the final seconds of regulation, Boston’s offensive struggles, Jrue Holiday and Al Horford’s non-stats impact, and Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby carrying the Knicks to the win.

Jayson Tatum was in his bag Tuesday night as the Boston Celtics demolished the Orlando Magic to close out a gentleman’s sweep and advance to the second round. Tatum logged his second straight 30-point double-double as the Celtics exploded during the second half to turn a two-point deficit into a 31-point win. We’re sounding off on Tatum’s performance, the moment the game changed when Jaylen Brown drew a fifth foul on Paolo Banchero, and on the vibes the Celtics are feeling as they await either the New York Knicks or Detroit Pistons in the next round.

The Celtics took a 3-1 series lead Sunday night thanks to a 16-7 run to close the game out. Jayson Tatum accounted for nine of those 16 points, including three off of yet another foul by Paolo Banchero on a Tatum 3. Boston’s superstar wing scored 37 points in the game, and he and Jaylen Brown combined to shoot 23-for-24 from the free-throw line. We’re sounding off on Boston’s increased aggression, the team’s defense led by Al Horford, and Boston being a league-best 20-2 on the season following a loss.

The final 30 seconds of Game 3 were total chaos. Inadvertent whistles and game and shot clock concerns helped the Orlando Magic sneak out with a 95-93 win over the Boston Celtics. This was a defensive slugfest reminiscent of the early 2000s, with both teams struggling to score. We’re diving in and sounding off on everything that happened, including those final 30 seconds, before taking a few comments from our fans on what went down.

Jaylen Brown was unconscious during Game 2 and piled up a monster 36-point double-double to lead the Boston Celtics past the Orlando Magic despite Boston playing without superstar wing Jayson Tatum. Kristaps Porzingis also added in a 20-point double-double, and the C’s delivered clutch play across the board. We’re sounding off on the incredible atmosphere at TD Garden, and taking comments from the fans on Jrue Holiday’s dunk, the determination Boston is showing, and a balanced effort across the board.

The Jays had an off night. No problem. Derrick White and Payton Pritchard were there to pick up the slack with a combined 49 points on 62 percent shooting! And Jrue Holiday was all over the court, asserting himself on defense and drilling 3-pointers. Those three players are the reasons why Boston was able to dominate this game while The Jays had an off night. We’re sounding off on that, plus the Celtics’ intensity and physicality, following the Game 1 win.
