Paolo Banchero had just dropped 38 points to push the Magic to an early lead and carry them through most of the game. He looked like a bona fide star and an All-NBA player in the making.

The prevailing story throughout the NBA season has been: The Boston Celtics are ruining basketball. They have become the poster child of the NBA’s 3-point revolution now, taking the shooting to extremes, it feels. The Celtics lead the league with 48.2 3-point attempts per game. They pass on paint touches and even layups to kick out for threes—all to devastating effect. Even against the No. 2 defense in the league, the Celtics have the No. 2 offense in the league.

Jonathan Isaac has struggled with his conditioning and shooting all season. He is the Orlando Magic's highest paid player this season ahead of a long-term extension. The playoffs represent a chance for redemption. Sunday's regular season finale against the Atlanta Hawks was an otherwise meaningless game. Both teams sat most of their starters, and the result had no impact on the standings or who the team would play on Tuesday. There was nothing of value to take away from the game.
