Philadelphia 76ers Team News
As much as the Sixers struggled in games G1 and G4 to win, and they did so on the individual quality of James Harden, in the G5 they were extremely confident and dominant, and at no point did they allow the Cetlics to achieve a turnaround.
First of all, we should highlight the great performance of Maxey and Harris, whose points and security were lacking throughout this series. Maxey was the most effective player of the Sixers along with Embid and scored 30 points, while Embid added 33 points. Harden didn’t push that hard and took only eight shots from which he scored 17 points and added ten assists. The key point of matchup in the G5 is that the Celtics couldn’t get Embid off the racket, who was a real wall on defense and had 4 blocks.
However, the Sixers have a difficult task ahead of them, because in the previous two matches, the Celtics had very poor three-point shooting percentages as a team, and throughout history, the Celtics are the team that came back from 2-3 to 4-3 the most times!
Boston Celtics Team News
The Celtics are in the same situation as last season when they were 2-3 against the Bucks and managed to turn around and advance to the Eastern finals. However, how they looked in the fifth match does not promise that this time. They entered very slowly and softly, while the shot did not listen to them at all. The only match worthy of praise was played by Jayson Tatum, who scored 36 points and added 10 rebounds. The big problem for the Celtics is that they haven’t been able to get Embid off the racket. And that draw in previous matches was achieved by shooting from the field of tall players. In the G2 Grant hit three-pointers, while Horford did it in the G3, however, in the fifth match, the two of them combined to shoot 0/8 for three, which is one of the reasons for the defeat because Embid dominated the racket.
In addition to Tatum, the other important players of the Celtics must wake up, first of all, we think of Brogdon and White, who bring serious quality from the bench.
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. The Celtics shoot poorly for three in the previous two matches, so we think they will be at their best in this match.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics Prediction
This is a game to be or not to be for the Celtics. At the end of the fifth game, they were booed by their fans due to poor energy and poor play, and we expect them to show a reaction in this match and win.
