PHILADELPHIA -- Al Horford has one word to describe Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens: Genius.
Horford gushed about his coach's whiteboard prowess after Stevens twice drew up after-timeout plays that delivered layups at critical junctures of Boston's 101-98 overtime win over the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 3 of an Eastern Conference semifinal series on Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
Stevens twice called mid-possession timeouts in order to draw up sets when his team looked disheveled. The first resulted in a Jaylen Brown layup to tie the game with 24 seconds to play in regulation, the second put Horford in position to muscle home a winning layup with 5.
