BOSTON — Before the Orlando Magic left Florida to begin their first-round playoff matchup against the Boston Celtics, they felt they had learned valuable lessons last spring about the mental side of an NBA postseason series.

Celtics star Jayson Tatum was hurt in Game 1 and sat out Game 2. Coach Joe Mazzulla discussed his status for Game 3 vs. the Magic.

Curry ended up leading all players with 31 points in the victory, while Jimmy Butler chimed in with 25. Brandin Podziemski was the only other Warrior to hit double-digits with 14 in the win.

After a poor Game 1, Rockets star Jalen Green erupted with 38 points and 6 assists in Game 2 as Houston tied its series with Golden State.

The Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets are currently engaged in a first-round slugfest that is tied at one game apiece. Only the Memphis Grizzlies are scoring less efficiently on offense in the postseason than they are in this defense-first matchup,

Patrik Laine, who was benched late in Wednesday's Game 2 loss after a difficult first two period, is out for Game 3 due to an upper-body injury.

The Montreal Canadiens purposefully spent the third period of Game 2 searching for a goal without Patrik Laine.
