The team that charged into the Eastern Conference finals with 14 straight wins rolled over Saturday night when it lost its hustle—and its third game in a row—against the Boston Celtics. Another loss Monday night would give Boston a sweep and end Orlando’s hopes for a second consecutive berth in the NBA finals. Down 7-0 in the first two minutes. Trailing by 16 points in the first quarter. Never closer than 14 after that. And behind by 32 before Boston coach Doc Rivers began clearing his bench in the fourth quarter. When the 94-71 rout was complete, the Magic could hardly believe their predicament. They had the second-best regular season record in the East, then swept Charlotte and Atlanta in the first two rounds to make it to the conference finals. The Celtics are focusing simply on one game. A win Monday night would send them to the NBA finals with a chance for their second championship in three years and their 18th overall.

Boston has won the first three games in 10 other series; it won four of those in four games and the other six in five. This year, teams took 3-0 leads in five series that have been completed and swept four of them. In the other, Boston beat Miami in five games. Rivers is among coaches who have been ahead in such series who would prefer that his players ignore those numbers. The Boston Bruins led the Philadelphia Flyers 3-0 in this year’s NHL Eastern semifinals then lost the next four, ending their colossal collapse in the same building where the Celtics and Magic will play Monday.But the Bruins had key injuries and a lack of discipline during important stretches. The Celtics are as healthy as they’ve been all season and playing extremely coordinated team defense.
