In the first three games of their playoff series, the Orlando Magic have showcased an aggressive and physical style of basketball, leading to significant injuries for key Boston Celtics players, including Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis. This has resulted in frustrations voiced by Celtics players about the officiating, as they feel the Magic's play crosses the line into excessive brutality. With the Celtics holding a 2-1 series lead, they remain wary of the Magic's tactics as Game 4 approaches.
"There might be a fight break out or something because it's starting to feel like it's not even basketball and the refs are not controlling their environment," said Brown.
"They're just borderline fouling. That's what it is. Borderline fouling and fouling and some of it, (the referees) call it, of course, and some of it they don't," Porzingis remarked.
