After losing Game 3 to the Orlando Magic, the Boston Celtics bounced back and won Game 4, winning 107-98. With the win, the Celtics have a 3-1 lead going back to Boston, where they'll have the chance to finish off the Magic.

Their win against the Magic in Orlando marked the first time the Celtics had done so since October of 2022. They also managed to pull it off without Jrue Holiday, who missed his second consecutive playoff game and will miss his third in Game 5.

Following the win, the Celtics released a locker room video of the message head coach Joe Mazzulla gave the team after the win.

"Hey, great bounce back," Mazzulla said. "Hey, listen, this team, all the playoffs do, is challenge you and ask you the question of do you really want it? And are you really willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want? That's the test. Do we want it? How bad are we willing to do whatever it takes to do it? Tonight, we showed that we have to keep it up, right, but you showed what we're capable of."

Torrey Craig then singled out Al Horford, saying, "Great defense tonight, Al!" with the other players clapping and calling him "OG."

This was about Horford's five blocks, which helped the Celtics limit the Magic to 98 points. With Game 5 coming up, the Celtics will have the chance to eliminate the Magic in the playoffs for the first time since the two squared off in 2010.
