Orlando Magic get their first victory in the series in game 3 against the Celtics

The series in each game is getting more physical!

Big game for Franz Wagner who added 32 points and Paolo Banchero who made 29 points, in a crucial game for Orlando Magic to put the series 2-1.

Despite a strong return by Jayson Tatum, who finished with 36 points and 9 rebounds, the Boston Celtics couldn’t handle the Magic’s physical defense or the energy of the home crowd. Game 4 is set for Sunday, and the NBA 1st Half Lines  are already shifting to reflect the new tone of this unpredictable series.

Physical Game, Hard Fouls, and 35 Turnovers

The game was full of friction. A total of 43 fouls were called—including one flagrant foul—and there were 35 turnovers, with the Celtics committing 21 of them. One of the most talked-about plays was Cole Anthony’s hard foul on Jaylen Brown, which led to a dislocated finger. 

This level of physicality has completely changed the dynamic of the series—and with that, the NBA 2nd Half Lines , which are constantly being updated based on injuries, referee decisions, and lineup changes.

Who Will Dictate the Tempo in Game 4?

Boston was one of the best three-point shooting teams in the regular season, but they missed 18 of their first 21 attempts from beyond the arc and went 17 minutes without a three in the second half. Their offensive struggles—plus the absence of Jrue Holiday due to injury—allowed the Magic to take over and seal the win with confidence.

Meanwhile, Wagner not only scored but also contributed 8 assists and 7 rebounds, showing that Orlando can win by playing a tough, physical style.

With Game 4 approaching fast, the NBA odds are changing rapidly—now might be the perfect time to find real value in your bets.

Sunday Is More Than Just a Game

Game 4 tips off this Sunday at 7 p.m. ET, once again in Orlando. The Magic will look to tie the series 2-2, while the Celtics must recover their offensive rhythm and adjust to the intense physical pressure. Smart bettors know: the smallest details can make all the difference, and the NBA Lines might give you the edge if you know how to read the moment.
