Joel Embiid’s Comeback Sparks Celtics’ Dominance—Can Boston Seal the Series?

The 76ers also just could not buy a bucket in the first half. As a team, Philadelphia shot 12-of-36 (33.3%) and 3-of-12 from beyond the arc in the first 24 minutes, and if that wasn’t enough, also gave up nine offensive rebounds to the Celtics.

The result was Boston racing out to a 21-point first-half lead and seemingly hitting every key shot.

Boston was up by 18, 56-38, at halftime, led by Pritchard with 18 off the bench. The Celtics were rolling, and it proved to be too much to ask the 76ers to overcome that, especially for a 76ers defense that struggled to get a stop much of the night (Boston had a ridiculous 139.1 offensive rating through the non-garbage time part of this game, according to Cleaning the Glass).
