The Celtics defeated the Magic 126-120 thanks to huge games from Jayson Tatum (40 points, 8 rebounds) and Derrick White (27 points, 4 boards, 4 assists).

“You put three games in a row — I think we’re headed in the right direction,” Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said.
“We’re asking our guys to defend at a high level, which they did. We’re asking them to move the basketball, which they did.
"And to stay poised down the stretch which they’ve done.”
