Game 7 between the Celtics and 76ers will be a Sunday matinee on ABC.
By virtue of the Los Angeles Lakers eliminating the defending champion Golden State Warriors, 122-101, in Game 6 of their Western Conference semifinal Friday night, the finale of Boston’s series with Philadelphia will tip off at 3:30 p.m. at TD Garden. Had the Warriors won in Los Angeles on Friday, their Game 7 would’ve gotten the afternoon slot.
Boston forced a Game 7 Thursday with a 95-86 win over Philadelphia. The winner will face the Miami Heat, who eliminated the New York Knicks, 96-92, in Game 6 Friday night in South Florida.
