The cuts, bruises and whatever else are starting to pile up for the Celtics as they navigate their first-round series against the Magic.

The Boston Celtics couldn't win on Friday during Game 3 of their first-round playoff series over the Orlando Magic. The Celtics battled it out, but suffered a 95-93 loss. Though the defending champion had its best player, Jayson Tatum, back on the floor, it wasn't enough.

If there was a strategy that was on display on Friday night in Game 3 of the Celtics' matchup against the Magic in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs--a series Boston led, 2-0, going into the game--it was clear on Orlando's part. The idea was to scrap Xs and Os and mostly make the series a mucked-up fist fight.
