Undermanned Celtics shock Magic 113-108 in final win of regular season

BOSTON — The Boston Celtics could've mailed it in on Sunday night against the Orlando Magic. They had nothing to play for and the injury report showed that, as the Celtics sat Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Neemias Queta, and others to give them some rest. Yet, with just eight players available, the C's still met the Magic with the utmost effort and prevailed 113-108 at TD Garden. The Celtics led by as many as 16 points despite being severely undermanned, but it became a tie game with 36 seconds to go following a 3-pointer from Magic guard Jalen Suggs. Everything still seemed to be going Boston's way though, and center Luka Garza proved that when he cashed a turnaround 3-pointer to send the crowd into a frenzy and give the Celtics a 111-108 lead with just 31.7 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
