The Celtics led by as many as 20 points in the third quarter in both of those games, but squandered that advantage by falling apart in the fourth. The games basically ended thanks to spectacular plays on defense from Mikal Bridges, too, as he ripped the ball from Jaylen Brown in Game 1 and stole it from Jayson Tatum in Game 2.

In a series that forced the Celtics to shift away from their usual style, the Magic never solved the Tatum problem. He slammed the door on them with 35 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in Game 5 after dominating in crunchtime of Game 4 in a 37-point, 14-rebound outing.

The Magic were never able to pull away from the Celtics in Game 5 thanks to Jayson Tatum and his bag of tricks, and the Boston star made Orlando disappear with another monster performance.
