Boston battled back from a 14-point deficit with under 2 minutes to play, but Kristaps Porzingis' game-tying 3-point attempt came up just short as the Celtics fell 106-103 to the 76ers. The C's showed some grit to get back in it late, but the hole they dug themselves in the first 46 minutes of the game was too much to overcome.
Philadelphia was led by league MVP Joel Embiid (27 PTS, 10 REB) as well as Tyrese Maxey (25 PTS, 9 REB), with Maxey pouring in 11 of his 25 in the final period.
