The 76ers are heading to Boston, and they’ll face the Celtics in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals series.
Game 1 is scheduled for 8 p.m. Monday at Boston’s TD Garden. The Celtics advanced after defeating the Milwaukee Bucks, 112-96, Saturday night at the Garden in Game 7 of their first-round series.
This marks the first time the Sixers and Celtics will meet in the playoffs since 2012. The Celtics escaped then with a conference semifinal series win of four games to three. That was the last time the Sixers reached the playoffs.
Game 2 of the conference semifinal will be at 8:30 p.
