With 9:38 left in the fourth quarter, the Boston Celtics were up by seven points. But a Paul Reed free-throw, a strip-and-steal transition bucket by Jaden Springer, and a Payton Pritchard missed layup leading to a De’Anthony Melton corner three brought the Philadelphia 76ers all the way back to within one — all in the span of 57 seconds.
The entire mood of the Wells Fargo Center shifted. Springer’s steal on Tatum and ensuing dunk got them hyped. Pritchard’s missed layup increased the energy even more. And Melton’s three blew the roof off the building.
