Two of those came in the fourth quarter as the Celtics turned a 91-91 tie with four minutes remaining into a nine-point win.

The Celtics are coming back to Boston with a 3-1 lead after a 107-98 victory over the Orlando Magic. After a dismal second half in Game 3, the Celtics played much better from start to finish, from big defensive plays from Al Horford to Jayson Tatum coming up clutch late in the game.
