Venue: Kia Center, Orlando, Florida
Competition: NBA Regular Season 2025/26
The Boston Celtics just keep rolling. On Thursday night, they walked into a charged Kia Center and silenced the crowd with a 107–98 win over the Orlando Magic, thanks to a monster performance from Jayson Tatum, who dropped 37 points and grabbed 14 rebounds.
Tatum was everywhere — hitting clutch jumpers, drawing fouls, and dictating the tempo like the MVP candidate he is. Every time the Magic seemed to find momentum, he responded with a dagger.
Celtics’ Core Delivers
It wasn’t just Tatum doing the heavy lifting. Jaylen Brown contributed 21 points and 11 rebounds, while Kristaps Porziņģis added 19 in a balanced team effort. The Celtics’ offense looked crisp, moving the ball quickly and punishing Orlando’s defense with smart shot selection.
The Magic made things interesting late in the fourth. Paolo Banchero was sensational with 31 points, leading a late surge that brought Orlando level at 91. But when it mattered most, Boston’s composure took over — a 10–1 run in crunch time sealed the deal and sent the Celtics home with another big win.
Boston Proves Why They’re Built Different
This win showed exactly why Boston sits among the NBA’s top contenders this season. Their defense tightened when it counted, their stars stepped up, and their bench provided steady minutes. The Celtics now strengthen their position in the Eastern Conference standings, while the young Orlando Magic continue to search for consistency.
