A HEAVY DOSE of déjà vu had hit the City of Brotherly Love.
The Philadelphia 76ers, having already blown a 16-point lead at home to the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series, watched as Malcolm Brogdon's 3-pointer extended the Celtics' edge to five points with 2:04 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Trailing 2-1 in the best-of-seven showdown, the 76ers looked destined for another heartbreaking loss in a recent playoff history littered with them.
But James Harden, who had rediscovered his Game 1 form, kept scoring.
