The Celtics were dominant as expected in the regular season, and they went 29-6 in their last 35 games. Jayson Tatum appears headed to his fourth consecutive All-NBA First Team selection after scoring 26.

The Boston Celtics will face the Orlando Magic in the first round of the NBA playoffs, after the Magic beat the Atlanta Hawks in the play-in tournament Tuesday night to claim the 7-seed in the Eastern Conference.

Slotted as the No. 2 seed, Boston (61-21) enters this tournament with a share of momentum on its side. The Celtics capped off the regular season, winning five out of their last six games. The sole loss during this stretch was to Orlando — their opponent in this series.
