Celtics Choke in Game 5, Head to Philly for Game 6
Description
Boston Celtics squandered a significant lead in Game five against the Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers, losing 113-97 and forcing a decisive Game six. Despite a double-digit lead in the second half, the Celtics watched it disappear as Phillys stars took over. Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers with impressive performances, while Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown struggled in the fourth quarter. Tatum shot poorly and missed key free throws, while Brown had a quiet night. The Celtics bench and role players underperformed, with only Tatum and Payton Pritchard hitting double figures. The series now hinges on Game six, with the Celtics needing Tatum to bounce back and the team to find their clutch gene.
