ORLANDO, FL – The Boston Celtics (61-21) aim to regain the series lead against the Orlando Magic (41-41) in Game 4 of their first-round playoff matchup this Sunday, April 27th, at the Kia Center in Orlando. The Magic pulled off a thrilling 95-93 victory in Game 3, fueled by a combined 61 points from Paolo Banchero (29) and Franz Wagner (32). Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 36 points in his return from injury.
