Although the Celtics scored just 11 points in the third quarter — their lowest mark in a period since November 1, 2021 — forward Jayson Tatum made his return from a bruised right wrist that forced him to miss Game 2 on Wednesday.

The Boston Celtics headed down to Orlando for Game 3 of the first round, and saw the return of Jayson Tatum to their lineup while point guard Jrue Holiday was ruled out. Orlando brought physicality throughout the game which was razor close from start to finish.

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics fell short in Game 3 on the road, dropping a 95-93 loss to the Orlando Magic, powered by a combined 61 points from Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero.
