Not unlike their wait for the eventual Play-In Tournament winner, the Celtics will have to be patient until the final day of the first round to find out their next opponent.
After the Heat defeated the Bulls on April 19th, Boston had two days to complete final preparations for the eight-seeded Miami. They’ll have that same planning schedule for Round 2. By holding court beating the Cavaliers in Game 6 on Friday night, the Magic have forced a Game 7 on Sunday in Cleveland and subsequently for the winner, pushing back a date with the Celtics.
