The Magic entered 6-3 against Boston in their last nine games before this series, largely aided by defense. The Celtics, more of a finesse team by comparison, aren’t happy about it. The Celtics are calling out the Magic for what they describe as overly physical and dirty play during their playoff series.

Through three games of this first-round series, the seventh-seeded Magic have displayed a physical style of basketball that the defending champion Celtics say they believe is over the line.
