Celtics beat the 76ers 108-100 in Game 3 behind 25 points each from Tatum and Brown
Tatum and Brown each scored 25 points as Boston hit 20 of 47 3-pointers and held Philadelphia to 12 of 35.
- On Friday, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown each scored 25 points to help the Boston Celtics defeat the Philadelphia 76ers 108-100 at Xfinity Mobile Arena, securing a 2-1 Eastern Conference first-round series lead.
- Philadelphia again played without star center Joel Embiid, who is recovering from an April 9 emergency appendectomy. Head coach Nick Nurse ruled him out Thursday, stating the 2023 NBA MVP was "just not ready" to return.
- Tatum and Brown combined for 19 of their 50 points in the fourth quarter to withstand a late rally by Tyrese Maxey. Tatum's 3-pointer with 25 seconds remaining extended Boston's lead to 106-100, effectively sealing the victory.
- With Boston holding a 2-1 series lead, both teams prepare for Game 4 scheduled for Sunday in Philadelphia. The 76ers look to rebound after Tyrese Maxey's 31 points and Paul George's 18 points fell short.
- Boston's victory came despite committing 17 turnovers and struggling defensively, as the team relied on 3-point shooting and 13 offensive rebounds to survive. The Celtics' balanced attack and rebounding edge proved decisive against a determined Philadelphia squad.
