One particular instance was when the Celtics had the ball down two with 0.3 seconds remaining. Derrick White tried to throw a hail mary entry pass where center Kristaps Porzingis tried to catch the ball, but made some contact with Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. as time expired.

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.
