Here we go! The Boston Celtics host the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 7 of their first-round matchup!
How did we end up here? Many believed the Celtics would finish off the plucky 76ers in Game 6, but a balanced offensive attack that saw all five Philadelphia starters score at least 14 points helped the 76ers secure a 106-93 victory, forcing a winner-take-all Game 7.
Joel Embiid’s early return from an appendectomy and Paul George’s resurgent return to form have the 76ers, who were down 3-1 in the series, a win away from a major upset. Oh, and that Tyrese Maxey guy, a two-time all-star who’s scored 25+ in four out of six games in the series, is pretty good, too.
“Just applaud the guys for not quitting,” George said after the game. “In this moment, we just stayed together. We stayed confident. We stayed poised. We’ve given ourselves a chance here, being down 3-1, with an unbelievable opportunity to go play a Game 7 in Boston.”
