About this episode

The episode discusses the surprising victory of the Boston Celtics over the Orlando Magic despite key players being absent.

They were counted out and overlooked – again. Sunday was supposed to be a blowout. The Orlando Magic had everything to play for. The Boston Celtics had nothing to play for (at least seeding-wise). Nearly all of Boston’s top players were out. Orlando was completely healthy. And what did the Celtics do? They shocked the NBA world with an incredible victory on the final night of the season to throw a wrench into the play-in tournament. Show some love for Baylor Scheierman, Ron Harper Jr., Luka Garza and John Tonje, who all had career nights in the perfect exclamation point to end a magical regular season.
