One particular instance was when the Celtics had the ball down two with 0.3 seconds remaining. Derrick White tried to throw a hail mary entry pass where center Kristaps Porzingis tried to catch the ball, but made some contact with Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. as time expired.

Boston Celtics stars criticized the Orlando Magic for being overly physical and NBA referees for not controlling the game on Friday after the Celts suffered their third injury in three games during a 95-93 Game 3 loss.

The Magic entered 6-3 against Boston in their last nine games before this series, largely aided by defense. The Celtics, more of a finesse team by comparison, aren’t happy about it. The Celtics are calling out the Magic for what they describe as overly physical and dirty play during their playoff series.
