The first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs continues with Game 3 in the Eastern Conference between the Boston Celtics and the Orlando Magic on Friday. The Celtics are currently in a strong position, leading the best-of-seven series 2-0. However their star player, Jayson Tatum, is uncertain for Game 3 due to injury.

The Magic's physicality on the defensive end of the court had a major effect on Boston, limiting them to their lowest 3-point attempts of the season.

The Orlando Magic were able to get back into the series against the Boston Celtics in Game 3, defeating them 95-93. It was Franz Wagner who led the way for the Magic, finishing with 32 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists, and Paolo Banchero also had a big game with 29 points.
