The Philadelphia 76ers went into the second round series against the Boston Celtics at their season high. Fresh off the winning streak to close the season, they were the most impressive team in the East with their dismantling of the Heat. When it was announced that Jaylen Brown would miss the game for the Celtics, most expected the 76ers to run away with game one.
Instead, the Celtics once again delivered in a way that few thought was possible, and they dominated the 76ers on both ends. The Celtics got stellar performances from everyone who saw the court, with everyone knowing when to attack.
