Philadelphia became the 14th team in NBA history to win a series after trailing 3-1, eliminating Boston 109-100 at TD Garden Saturday night. Joel Embiid posted 34 points / 12 rebounds / 6 assists; Tyrese Maxey closed the deal with 30 / 11 / 7 and just one turnover in 45 minutes. Boston was without Jayson Tatum (injury) — Jaylen Brown carried at 33/9 and Derrick White hit 5 threes in a 26-point night, but the offense never matched 76ers crunch-time execution. Sixers advance to face the (3) Knicks in the East Semis. Three more Game 7s today decide the rest of Round 1: NHL TBL/MTL at Amalie Arena, NBA DET/ORL at Little Caesars, NBA CLE/TOR at Rocket Arena.
