Boston Celtics on the Brink: A Three-to-One Lead Over Philadelphia Sixers; Game Five Tonight at TD Garden

The Boston Celtics are one win away from securing a spot in the Eastern Conference semifinals, leading the Philadelphia Sixers three games to one in their first-round series. Game five is set to take place tonight at TD Garden, with a victory sealing the deal for Boston.

In Sundays Game four, the Celtics dominated the Sixers, winning 128-96. Payton Pritchard had a playoff career-high 32 points, while Jayson Tatum contributed 30 points, 11 assists, and 7 rebounds. Despite Joel Embiids return and 26 points and 10 rebounds for the Sixers, Phillys poor shooting (41% from the floor) and rebounding (51-33) proved costly.

Tatum has been a standout player in the series, averaging 24.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 8.5 assists per game. Pritchards impressive performance highlights the Celtics depth and strength.
