Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics fell short in Game 3 on the road, losing 95-93 to the Orlando Magic, who were powered by a combined 61 points from Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero.

Tatum racked up 36 points on 10-for-22 shooting with four made 3-pointers in Game 3. He also shot 12-for-12 from the field with nine rebounds and four assists in 39 minutes but his effort ultimately went for naught, as the Magic escaped with the victory to cut down Boston's series lead to a game.
