BOSTON -- Throughout his career, Joel Embiid has never been in the position he found himself in Tuesday night: Both a win away from advancing past the Boston Celtics -- and to the Eastern Conference Finals -- for the first time in his career.
But when asked how he felt about being in that position after scoring 33 points to go along with 7 rebounds, 3 assists and four blocked shots in Philadelphia's 115-103 win over Boston in Game of this Eastern Conference semifinal here at TD Garden, the NBA's newly-minted Most Valuable Player wasn't interested in discussing it.
