Celtics Aim to Close Out Series Against Magic in Game 5
The Boston Celtics are poised to clinch their first-round playoff series against the Orlando Magic in Game 5 on Tuesday night at TD Garden. Currently leading the best-of-seven series 3-1 following a victory in Game 4 at Kia Center, the Celtics will look to end the Magic’s hopes of advancing.
Game 5 is scheduled for an atypical start time of 8:30 p.m. Eastern, and the contest will be broadcast on NBATV. Should the Magic pull off an upset, the NBA has outlined potential scenarios for a Game 6. If the Magic win and the Knicks also defeat the Pistons in their series, Game 6 will take place in Orlando at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 1, with coverage on TNT and NBC Sports Boston. Alternatively, if both the Magic win and the Pistons manage to stay alive against the Knicks, the game will start at 7:00 p.m. on the same day.
The Celtics are focused on securing their advancement while the Magic fight for survival in this pivotal matchup. The remaining schedule includes a potential Game 7 on Saturday, May 3, at TD Garden, though no time has been set.
