Ben Rohrbach: Jayson Tatum had an X-ray on his right wrist after landing on it late in Game 1. “It’s clean,” he said. “It’s good.” He said the wrist throbbed at first but the sensation has since subsided.

“Playoff basketball,” Boston’s Jayson Tatum told reporters about the physicality of Sunday’s game vs. the #Magic. “It was a lot of fun out there. It felt good to be back in the playoffs, kind of playing a game like that in this environment. So, it was fun.” – 7:56 PM

Tatum on 2nd half: “Rebound. I think they had more shot attempts than us … way more offensive rebounds than we would’ve preferred. Rebound and pick up the intensity on defense.” – 7:36 PM

Tatum, Brown and KP combined to shoot 15-44 and the Celtics still won by damn near 20. The OTHERS are just different on the Celtics. Yes I called them “Others” because they’re to good to be called Role Players. – 6:12 PM

MVP chants for Jayson Tatum as he was down on the floor for an extended period of time. He’s able to hop back up and walk off the court on his own power.
After review, officials assess a Flagrant 1 foul to KCP. – 5:41 PM

The non-Tatum minutes weren’t great in the January game. It’s Pritchard-White-Brown-Horford-Porzingis to start the 2nd. Carter on Horford. Wagner on Porzingis. – 4:11 PM

#Celtics lead #Magic 26-18 after 1Q. White 8, Tatum 4, Brown 4; Banchero 7, Wagner 7.
ORL already with 8 offensive rebounds but just 2 second-chance points. BOS defense has been solid. – 4:09 PM

Reminder that White-Holiday-Brown-Tatum-Porzingis made it back to a +0 net rating by the end of the season.
Why did they struggle to begin the year? Mazzulla said a few weeks ago in NY he hadn’t given it “a second” of thought. – 2:14 PM

More on this storyline
Jason Beede: “Playoff basketball,” Boston’s Jayson Tatum told reporters about the physicality of Sunday’s game vs. the #Magic. “It was a lot of fun out there. It felt good to be back in the playoffs, kind of playing a game like that in this environment. So, it was fun.” -via Bluesky / April 20, 2025
Mason Williams: Jamahl Mosley on the #Magic’s defense against Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown: “I think we did a very good job on those guys. Made it tough on them, made it difficult for them to get easy shots. For the most part, it was the Derrick White’s .. the Payton Pritchard’s… two guys you don’t really account for coming up with 49 points. I think we’ve got to do a better job there.” -via Twitter / April 20, 2025
Payton Pritchard was a difference-maker off the bench with 19 points in 25 minutes, and Jayson Tatum turned in a 17-point, 14-rebound double-double despite shooting the ball poorly (8-for-22, 1-for-8 from three, 0-for-4 from the foul line). -via Boston Herald / April 20, 2025
