Embiid, Maxey power 76ers past Celtics into East semis

NBA Finals: Knicks Aim for Stronger Start Against Spurs in Crucial Game 4

Joel Embiid delivered 34 points and 12 rebounds as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Boston Celtics 109-100 to complete a remarkable comeback from 3-1 down and advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Tyrese Maxey added 30 points, including 10 in the final quarter, helping Philadelphia close out the series and set up a clash with the New York Knicks. The win marked the Sixers’ first-ever playoff series comeback after trailing 3-1.

Boston, missing Jayson Tatum due to injury, were led by Jaylen Brown with 34 points, but their season ended in disappointment.

The 76ers will now look to carry their momentum into the Eastern Conference semifinals as they prepare for a tough battle against the New York Knicks.
