The Celtics and 76ers are going the distance.
Philadelphia refused to let its season end in Games 5 and 6, storming back from a 3-1 series deficit to force a winner-take-all Game 7 against Boston . That means Saturday brings two of the best words in sports — Game 7.
The 76ers kept their season alive behind another strong performance from Joel Embiid , who flirted with a triple-double in Game 6, and Tyrese Maxey , who led Philadelphia with 30 points. The Celtics got a double-double from Jayson Tatum , while Jaylen Brown added 18 points in the loss.
Now, all eyes turn to Tatum’s status after he suffered a calf injury in Game 6. Tatum, who returned this season after a ruptured Achilles, is expected to be ready for Game 7 as Boston looks to close out the series and move on to face the Knicks in the next round.
