The Boston Celtics dropped Game 3 to the Orlando Magic on Friday night, bringing the first-round Eastern Conference playoff series to 2-1 in favor of Boston. The 95-93 slugfest featured incredibly physical play on the court, especially from the Magic, who have made that their calling card this postseason; Orlando had two flagrant fouls in the opening two games of the series, including one that injured Celtics star Jayson Tatum.
The Magic racked up another flagrant foul on Friday, with Cole Anthony getting penalized for an overly aggressive foul on reigning Finals MVP Jaylen Brown. This was apparently the last straw for Brown, who tore into the referees after the loss for failing to control the game and stating there might be a fight with the way things are going.
