A night that started with so much promise ended in massive disappointment.
Joel Embiid finally received his first MVP award but it felt like that was the last thing to go right for the Sixers Friday. They suffered a disappointing 112-104 loss to the Celtics at The Center. Boston now leads the series 2-1 with Game 4 set for Sunday at 3:30 p.m.
Embiid did look more like his valuable self than he did in Game 2, but James Harden has fallen off cliff in the two games since his 45-point masterclass in Game 1 and Tyrese Maxey can’t seem to find his rhythm.
