Boston Celtics Team News
The Celtics showed in the fourth match that they are a better team than the Sixers, and instead of ending the series with 4-0, they are now at 2-2, and that is solely due to their mistakes at the end of the matches. James Harden decided them both times with three-pointers in the last seconds of the match. They entered match number four very slowly, which the Sixers took advantage of and had a double-digit advantage until the last quarter. Tatum scored the first points from the game only at the end of the first half, and at the end of the match, he had 25 points. Smart had the opportunity to decide the match twice. First, he missed an open shot, and then at the end of overtime, he hit a three-pointer, but time had expired. However, there is a lot of talk about the defense in the last attack of the Celtics where Tatum and Brown doubled Embid, which Harden took advantage of and scored for the victory.
They defend Embid well, especially Grant Williams and Horford, who have both the physical strength and athleticism to close and send Embid off, and in the attack, they have enough quality shots to spread the Cameroonian. A real small terror over Embid was performed by Horford in the final 4/4, and Embid bounced off Horford like a wall.
The Celtics play at a very fast pace and with their width in the roster they “break” the opposing defense. While defensively, they are very mobile and can take on everything.
Philadelphia 76ers Team News
The Sixers somehow managed to win, and despite the unpromising game they managed to tie the series and have a chance to reach the finals of the East with a new break. The duo of Embid and Harden played top attacking matches, but even that was not enough to achieve a safe and convincing victory. However, Harden also decided to G4 with a triple in the last minutes of the game.
Embid is the MVP of the league, and at the MVP level, he played 3/4 of the games, only to disappear completely in the final, because Al Horford “put him in his pocket” and made him nervous.
Harden and Embid are playing at a high level, but still, in the fifth match, they will need help from role players, first of all, we think of Maxey and Harris who are playing very badly in this series. In match number four, P.J. played an important role. Tucker and Niang above all played well defensively, while Niang spread the racket by hitting two important triples.
