The Orlando Magic's defense vs. the Boston Celtics' offense has been a clash of strength on strength. After three games, Orlando's defense has begun minimizing Boston's potent offense and, in turn, giving themselves a chance to claw back into the series.

The Magic now have to look to show that Game 3 was not a one-off. They will look to get big performances from Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero once again. Wagner led the team with 32 points on Friday, while Banchero chimed in with 29. Jayson Tatum led the floor with 36 points in the losing effort.
