lThe Boston Celticsthey fell on this Thursday night before the Philadelphia 76ers by 106 to 93 and they will be played the entire season in the seventh and final match in it TD Garden. And last week, after winning both games as a visitor, They seemed to have the series on track (3-1)but an unexpected setback at home in the fifth game means that, added to the latter, they have to go to the seventh and final game. Yes indeed, They will have the support of their peoplesomething they haven’t had this morning.
The Embiid-Maxey-George trio, too much for the Celtics
The premises, which they came from winning he fifth meeting thanks to a splendid Joel Embiidthey went out all out from the first start, something that was noted in the statistics at the end of the game, although they were not entirely correct.
Joel Embiid celebrates a three-pointer during the game.
Under the leadership of a great Tyrese Maxeyauthor of 30 points, 11 of 22 shooting field, three rebounds and five assistsalso accompanied by another Embiid double-double (19 points and 10 rebounds) and for the seniority of Paul Georgewith 23 pointsthose from Pennsylvania got dry one of the most powerful teams in the entire league and they have led to the limit this pairing.
Hugo, on the bench, and his teammates, misguided
It was not the night of Joe Mazzulla, who once again left Hugo Gonzalezby technical decision, without playing. With 36 shots converted from a total of 86 and with an erratic 11/33 in shots of three pointsto the Celtics they had no choice but give up.
Jayson Tatum crushes the rim while VJ Edgecombe looks on.
Even more so after the inconvenience of Jayson Tatum that, despite their 17 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assistshad to abandon the match in third quarter for inconvenience: “My leg was a little stiff when I came out… Nothing worrying“I was just evaluating at the time, the game was a little out of our reach,” he said at a press conference.
My leg was a little stiff when I came out… Nothing worrying, I was just evaluating the moment, the game was a little out of reach
He was not lacking in reason regarding the latter. The truth is that, despite his efforts and that of Jaylen Brownwith 18 pointsto get their team into the game, Boston’s team missed the match between the second and third quarterwhere the locals took leads that were very difficult to overcome (82-63 at the end of the third period). Now, after going 3-1the 2024 champions will be played everything in one letter against Sixers with a lot of ambition.
