COMMENTARY
The Celtics are on to Philadelphia.
After besting the Bucks, 112-96, in Game 7 of their first-round playoff series Sunday night, Boston will take on the 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
“I think it’s going to be a great matchup,” Celtics forward Marcus Morris told reporters after the game. “They’re playing hard. They’re doing something special over there in Philly, but so are we in Boston.”
Morris, who scored 10 points off the bench Sunday, is right. The Celtics are doing something special. Against all odds — their season was supposed to be “over” in October — this team now has the opportunity to advance to back-to-back conference finals for the first time in over three decades.
