The Boston Celtics are back in the NBA playoffs and will try to defend their title in 2025. Up first for the reigning champs is a first-round series against the Orlando Magic and Boston took care of business at home in Games 1 and 2.

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.

Boston Celtics stars criticized the Orlando Magic for being overly physical and NBA referees for not controlling the game on Friday after the Celts suffered their third injury in three games during a 95-93 Game 3 loss.
