In Boston's playoff opener against the Orlando Magic, Al Horford criticized the physical play directed at Celtics star Jayson Tatum, specifically calling out Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for his aggressive tactics. After a hard collision mid-air, Tatum landed on his wrist but continued to play, finishing with 17 points and 14 rebounds. Although initial X-rays were negative, he has been diagnosed with a bone bruise, leaving his availability for Game 2 uncertain. Coach Joe Mazzulla described Tatum's condition as day-to-day. The Celtics remain focused, with Payton Pritchard expressing confidence that the hard fouls won't deter their playoff ambitions. Mazzulla also reflected on the bond he shares with his players, emphasizing that mutual trust plays a significant role in their competitive dynamic.
