On Thursday, the Sixers had a chance to reach the conference finals for the first time since 2001. Boston, which played with only seven players, won with four three-pointers by Jayson Tatum in the last five minutes (86:95).
Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey each contributed 26 points for Philadelphia, which suffered a bitter defeat. Coach Doc Rivers was furious with the referees, who, in his opinion, committed as many as 13 fouls.
Last year, the Celtics made it to the East semifinals after trailing 2-3 in victories and smoothly eliminated Milwaukee and then Miami in the seventh game. Golden State was better in the grand finals, but was eliminated against the LA Lakers on Friday.
